Reverse that the next day and it turns out to be lots of driving and running around.
Not to say they are not good, but they certainly are for the right people only. Lastly, harder to pick up OT as they credit like 88 hours or something.

But yeah, if you're a commuter, these are the lines to avoid

Non-rev question about D1 vs. D2.
Does D1 give you any other priorities over D2, other than priority getting a seat when space gets tight?
Does a D1 get priority when it comes to getting an upgrade, or is it solely based on check-in time, assuming there are seats available?

Two caveats to remember:
1. I have been saved when the flight was full in main, there were 5 or so revenue standbys, and 1 premium 'no show'. I made the flight as the revenue standbys were not eligible though tier, or otherwise for the premium seat.
2. On a long haul flight - passengers may only be eligible for a Y-->J/W upgrade, meaning you could bypass them if seats remain open in Flagship First (only on the 77Ws).
Hope that helps!
