Also noted with interest the inclusion of Z fares...
...I guess in a couple of months we may see threads from UGSs looking for B-fare MRs?

At least—if upgrades don't clear—there'll be plenty water to go around in the back

...it's too bad I'm not GS already, as I'd be within a shout given the fare mix I've flown/booked this year

It seems it's only on the "1k website" for people who already are GS members. As a lowly 1k I can't find it when I log in!

Nice find. I am qualified for retaining UGS in 2007 (without any flying in the past month!).

I'm wondering how my GS members that have already re-qualified will spread their business around...

The decision to announce this is very strange.

I was sure I wasn't in with a chance given my changed flying patterns.

This is definately for renewing and not initial invitations. I certainly flew more than 50K last year in Y or B fares and am probably there already this year. I don't expect any invitation though.
