In oversold Y situations, Golds and Diamonds
are upgraded in advance.
In oversold Y situations, I would expect nothing less... the company is there to make money after all, not cater to its staff. However, if Y ended up with seats available while J was full (and it was supposed to be the other way around), then they are not upgrading due overbooking (as there are still seats in Y available).
As such I assume they are upgrading to J even when not required, presumably through Asiamiles. As I recall, this was not supposed to happen ahead of staff holding J? I seem to remember reading this in CX News (the section that one wag recently desribed as the "Nippere$$ says No" column
), but Lord knows I've been wrong before.
PS Titan, the overall was showing yellow or green as I recall. And yes I must learn to use cupid...
