you need a V class over ride or a change to Y-up to solve the issue for now...
Reissues can definitely trip you up, as well as the DL-coded, NW-operated problem. The trick is getting an agent to take you seriously and work to override whatever is preventing the upgrade.
That said, there does seem to be something funky about the EUA runs. I'm on a MSP-SNA flight in a few days and the flight has had R3 availability since yesterday but no upgrades have happened. I know my reservation is OK because I have already been upgraded on my flight into MSP.
