Now I know that I cant get the upgrade because my trip was a reward ticket but would it be too much to add elite members on reward travel on the standby list even if they have the lowest priority? It was really annoying sitting in coach looking at all those rare open first seats when they had their nice dinner! This is more of a rant then anything but I don't see the big deal why Elite members on reward trips shouldn't be upgraded even if they are at the very bottom of the priority list (after everyone who paid for their ticket was upgraded).

Thoughts?
