[QUOTE=Wilco_FT;11667271]Now I'm confused. Another person was upgraded.


Been there myself and it indeed seems you were wronged , However heres a couple of reasons its legit;

1- NGU didnt check in till they got to the kyosk in the airport so they had a higher fare basis tkt but since they didnt checkin they were never added to the list , once they in fact checked in due to their fare they jumped to #1 position and got the UP

2- NGU offered to pay up at the airport to whatever fare they needed to be confirmed in FC rather then remain #27 on the list. they thusly went from a L fare to a B with confirmed FC at the time they became a B farer

3- NGU was booked on a different flight in a Y and changed to this flight, bing FC available they are UPed then and there

Ill leave the above but just noticed the flight is for tommorrow and its 26 hrs out and there is a SBY list. I take it that those on the SBY list already are connecting to this flight and thereby were alreaday able to do OLCI for their 1st flight. Anyone whos has this as their 1st flight cant checkin till 7:15pm IAH time

NGU can be a passenger that is also connecting but was suppose to today but for some reason wasnt on their originating flight and was rebooked for tommorrows set of flights

This list will keep changing, if you were flying say out of EWR at 5:30am and connecting to this flight then you could have checked in this morning at 5:31am NY time say you did you probbaly would have been #1 if no one else had a flight before yours anywhere in the World. Pt by tommorrow morning you can go from #1 to # 101 all legit as higher Elites or people with higher fares same status check-in

Then EUA will still be done and the list you see has nothing to do with the EUA list. So if CO decided to open 1 more seat for EUAing then #1 on that list gets it and not #1 on the pda list which is the airport list

I have Faith in my fellow CO FTers and they will add the other 100,000 legit reasons why this can and does happen
