Interesting to know! Sounds like travelers are catching on the T-24 checkin upgrades. SFO-SEA is a longer flight so I could justify $70 out of my pocket for a comfy seat if I were to book Virgin. To me SFO-SNA does not deserve $70. Personally I usually book UA for my trips to PDX and SEA for the e-500 upgrades that clear 90% of the time without the need to check in at T-24.
