I'm not really suggesting a conspiracy theory, but an observation. CO certainly has every right to manage their inventory and revenue generation in the way that makes the most business sense, and since upgrades are complimentary, it is not an expectation. Just something I'm observing of late.

Since there are no bodies currently assigned to first on this flight that is just over 24 hours from now, and no one on the waitlist, it would "appear" that there are no plats or golds, since they {customarily} upgrade 5 and 3 days out.
Still, keeping fingers crossed that this last MR of the DEQM promo will bring me a pleasant surprise at T-24
