I sat next to a several year 1K in C on ORD-IAD on a 767. He mentioned that he was connecting onto DXB and in coach for that leg. I told him GPUs were just deposited for those who qualified at the tail end and he should've used one for that leg. His response was: "What's that?"
He knew about mileage upgrades and how those required miles and money and mentioned his wife would never approve of him paying the copays for those. I told him GPUs were just like mileage upgrades, and he even asked if it required a cash copay to use those. I mentioned the W fare requirement but W fares aren't outrageously expensive and generally worth it. I educated him on the fact that he gets at least 6 GPUs a year and he should contact MP for a more detailed lecture on what upgrades he had available to him.
He then asked me how he ended up in C on ORD-IAD and I explained to him what CPUs were.
So how many 1Ks would u estimate have no idea what GPU/RPUs are?
