RPU's are useless GPU's are too. I'm 0 for 17 on UG's using certs on PS flights, that said 4 for the last 4 at the gate.

We don't clear into the upgrade list that you're judging based based on your metrics and neither do tons of other people. I clear in advance. T-24,T-96, sometimes T-7 days out. I buy the cheapest economy fare so I'm not buying Y,B,M.

Go read the RPU thread. It'll clarify that everything I said as fact. Many of us are happy with our success with RPU's and have yet to miss an upgrade all year.
I am soooo happy that RPU's are your "pie-in-the-sky". Gives me just the boost I needed to continue to pursue lifetime 1K as a 3 MM'er!

Wow! Never missing an upgrade using an RPU!

U-Da Man!!!^^^

All Hawaiian configured B772 are now Domestic B772, which practically have the same hard/soft products as p.s., except the lie-flat is the pmUA styled, not pmCO styled.
