Last week, I thought I was going to get EAU'd LAX-IAH when F was more than 9. Upon Check in, I was #6 on the list and 12 people had already been upgraded. That made me Platinum #18.

It was the same for IAH-ORD. 10 people were upgraded and at check in I was #3. The return I cleared at 5 day out for ORD-IAH but IAH-LAX again, 20 people were upgraded (753) and I was #7 on the list. That made me Platinum #27.

For the DO, 6th day out it was F > 9. After EUA, it became F5 and now F3. I didn't clear. All of the exit row occupants but 1 stayed clued to the seatmap. I don't even want to know what number I will be when I check in.

I just checked the return, now F2.

Buh bye First, here comes coach.

Will it get better after March 1, when all the outgoing elites drop their levels?
