MSP-LGA 1/4 I'm #4 for 0 last I checked. But the flight was +27 not too long ago, so I'll take a VDB if offered.

January 3rd, managed to be Number One for None on both HSV-ATL and ATL-LAX.

Waitlisted an RUC for the latter flight, but no help at all when there simply aren't any FC seats open.

4/4 in advance for this first full week.

4/6, bad start to the year. Though I have a sneaky feeling that SHENA struck today. At 55 min to boarding I was #1/7 with 6 seats available. 5 min later I refresh and find myself 1/9 with 0 available. Was on an M fare, hard to believe that so many elites checked in at 50 min with higher UG status than I.

After boarding I was #1/9 still. GA comes on and pulls someone from the back. Not sure who but not me.

Either way, was fine with my EC seat on today's flight so no complaints. Just hope the % increases.

I am 100% this year so far.
SLC to LAX, 13A to 1C upgrade.
I may never feel this good again.

Cleared SAT-ATL at gate (2/20+ for 7 seats)
Was going to miss ATL-DAY but SAT-ATL went mechanical. Rebooked onto next morning ATL-DAY, cleared sometime in flight.

Flying DAY-ATL-DCA-ATL-DAY next weekend. Cleared all segments at their respective windows.

6/6 to start the year although one of those cost me an unwanted night in ATL.

Edit: All were on X fares.
