With the new far code alignment, it looks like medium-level awards are now aligned with the X bucket. In the past, if there were L seats, you could get medium award inventory (domestic flights). I realize that the true bucket is N ... but L matched mid-level.
With L, there were 3 fare buckets below it (U, T, E). With X, there are only two fare buckets below it (V, E). One a few routes I have been watching there were mid-level ... but today there is only high level. So, I believe there has been a pretty significant devaluation.
I haven't checked out mid-level first class. In the past it was aligned with the A bucket ... I bet this has changed.
