That's odd... I'm looking at some ex-SFO p.s. flights that are show J9 but C0 (and D0 Z0).

I can also see NC>0 on a domestic 752 - is this new or have I just not been paying attention until now?

Just saw a flight with C4, J6, so it's not a certainty that J avail = C avail

Web tools are available that if they of a mind too, they could determine how many people check the award tool and then buy an upgradable ticket.

I have never really been able to figure out why there can't be one single fare bucket code-set industry wide. There are only that many fare buckets and that many alphabets. With so many airlines now in alliances and even more in code sharing partnerships, I think it would be a logical next step...

What I was told
Last week I was talking to the GS desk and they mentioned (unsolicited) that UA is bringing in the J code for biz in order to bring things in line with CO.
