On 3-Class Planes, No CPU after using A RPU/GPU

Yesterday, the Gate Agent informed me that on 3-class planes, there is no CPU eligability (to 1'st) if having used a RPU/GPU from Economy to Business.

It was mentioned that due to CO not having any 3-class planes, SHARES has not been programmed to auto deal with this and the Gate Agents should be enforcing this manually prior to T-24, which they did.

Seems like I got a few bonus CPUs to 1'st over the past 6 weeks...

Yeah - don't think this is new. On PS you could never really do Y->NC->NF (except maybe for a system error here and there). Nice that you got a few freebies though!

That is correct - you cannot double-upgrade, unless it's for operational needs.

If you do end up getting double upgraded, watch out for the dreaded O/ON issue, since you *won't* get any miles.
