I didn't get a seat re-assignment card when my boarding pass was scanned, so I'm wondering if I didn't get an upgrade when the flight was being closed out.
Don't really care, just trying to learn the game. Thanks!
Unless you were on an extremely early flight (like the first one of the day), it is highly improbable (not impossible, just high improbable) that as a FO you'll get upgraded either way ATL-BHM. As a PM, that was one of the most difficult segments to get an upgrade on and often I'd be 5 or 6 down the list. There are tons of people who drive to BHM (including a lot from ATL) to avoid the high prices that you get flying out of the hub.
My guess is that you are just seeing a glitch. However, as has been pointed out, if you are at the top of the list and think you have a shot either wait it out or make sure the GA will pull you up if you happen to clear.
