Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Why would DL want these upgrades processed into any other inventory than Z?
What is there to stop DL from auto-releasing Z inventory on day of departure and/or as flight time approaches so as to let customer-facing DL (or contract) employees book customers into Z inventory?
