I actually asked to pay for her to upgrade out of PIT, but the ticket agent (not the GA) told me it was full. Meanwhile, I could see on my pda that ther were 4 seats left (hence the reason I would offer to pay - 2 blocked, and 2 avail 1 hour before departure - not sure why 2 seats would stay blocked 1 hr before departure?)
The TA probably thought you were asking about the day of departure upgrades. Those are hard to score because they are only offered if the number of empty F seats exceeds the number of elites on the flight that have not been upgraded yet. Did you specifically ask for the TUL and MSY flights that she be added to the UG list as your companion? You need to know what the UG list looks right before and right after you check in to really track her progress. Did the flights you're referring to go out full in F? Did you get an upgrade, and if so when?
