Domestic DHs, 150% Comfort+ middle seat, 150% basic economy non-middle seat, 200% basic economy middle seat. If they want to keep comfort+ open for HVCs or whatnot, fine, but I’d like to be compensated for the confinement. And DH crew should be able to pre-board, period.
Yellow tagged bags worked fine in the days before UltraMegaSafe vests but we need a new system now.

ATL-MSP-ATL Deadheading issues
Tried to DH MSP-ATL was told that even though there are empty seats in comfort + 24 hours prior you can not get pilot assist to upgrade you. It's the only 2 station pairs that have this problem, WTF?
The gate agent will put you on the list after all the free upgrades , so basically no comfort upgrades while traveling between these 2 cities on company business DH.
Anyone have a clue as to why?
