I was talking about a possible oversold situation here...Skyteam Elite will get upgraded (after "native" airline Elite and Elite Plus but) before a general member or someone not belonging to an FFP. My guess would be that the VFR-heavy flights from/to India over Christmas are likely to be full but unlikely to have a lot of elites sitting in the back.
