I must be having a slow day... isn't that what already happens?
I don't see that this program changes anything about the process -- it just provides an incentive to the agents to push it more vigorously. I guess there might be some danger from a FF perspective that the GA gets too aggressive and sells UG seats instead of working the UG queue properly -- but at $3 a pop that doesn't seem very likely.

JS said:You just described the solution. Upgrade the more preferred passengers early, before you offer upgrades for sale.
If someone wishes to be upgraded for free, ahead of the $150 no-status passenger upgrades, he/she can fly on US more often to get that early upgrade ahead of the others.
I am suggesting that US (as well as DL since they do the same thing) take the concept of coach seat inventory and carry it into the realm of First Class upgrades.[post="250641"][/post]
