For those that have reservations made BEFORE this was announced, will this impact us and will we be screwed for 20 points if the domestic segment clears?? Or will we be grandfathered in here and the 40 pts refunded (if domestic segment clears but no overseas one)

Sorry if I missed this elsewhere , but what happens to PS flights? Right now you can use an RPU to upgrade on a transcon to a flat bed, which is a huge benefit of the RPU (when it can actually be used). With the introduction of PP plus PE, does this mean it will now be a GPU / 40pp to upgrade on a PS flight? (Yes, I had fun with the P acronyms).

Presently unknown, the surprize making PP a separate cabin on a few "PS" flights has added uncertainty but most of the "PS" flights do not have PP seats.

Skip The Waitlist works when there is no PZ availability (or PN if you're GS). ...

Has there been any confirmation that GS's will be able to "Skip Waitlist"?
MP Updates says "This benefit is exclusive to members with 1K status", which makes me think it might just be a way for 1Ks to buy up to PN inventory..?

The reason the page says "exclusive to 1K" is that they don't typically publish GS benefits, per se.

While this is true, it's also entirely possible that StW just opens PN inventory, which GS members can already access, and that there is no additional StW function for GS members.

I tend to agree. The website already confirms that StW requires a W+ fare, and I would be surprised if the median price is more than 80 points on first rollout.

Yes, in many instances, GS already have a StW benefit by virtue of access to PN inventory.

Unfortunately, that is not true in the majority of cases.
