My upgrade is always "requested". Yesterday when we flew SEA-JAX it was "requested" on each segment, but we always had seat assignments in coach and there was never anything in the class of service column except coach.

Tonight we have First class in the class of service column, then Stand-by in the next column, and below where we should see our seat assignments for that leg, and only that leg, we have no assigned seats.

I am packing a lunch, but it would be nice to know if there is any chance that we might be upgraded. We have had some success with upgrades on the CVG-SEA segment in the past. In fact, I think we have been upgraded on this segment every time we have flown on it. In the past, however, the upgrade was confirmed, not "stand-by".
