If some of the numbers are low, it is because you divided by BF capacity and not number of seats booked for the individual flight. CO9 may only have 6 upgrades, but with 43 seats booked there is room for more. Presumably everyone on the wait list may have been upgraded, and if not, a few more people will be tomorrow. Given the recent changes to the BF upgrade policy, we could assume the success rate to be 100% if any BF seat goes out empty. Similarly, CO48 only has 14 seats booked with 2 upgrades. CO 28, though, yea, that looks like a tough nut to crack on a Sunday.
