Sorry, my mistake. But .bomb is useless in the whole upgrade area. Every time I try to upgrade, even with miles, it tells me that the flights are not eligible for an upgrade, even when they are. I have to call in — every time.

I suspect that the problem with the software is that it is not allowing flights to be "eligible" if there is no NC or NF inventory. In other words, it has lost the concept of waitlisting. I also suspect that this is due to UDU, but it happens on my int'l flights too.
