But you watched this happening over a few days or so right so it could have been people paying the difference or mile upgrades or something?
Last night there were less than 13 on the upgraded list on Sunday's CO448, don't recall the exact number but want to say ~5 or so. Right now there are 13 people showing on the upgraded list with 15 / 20 booked and no one currently on the upgrade standby list within the 24 hour window. It looks to me like most of those 13 were EUAd at the 13 hour window and there are no more plat/gold/silvers on the flight as they should be on the upgrade standby list. I would imagine that at this point anyone that checks in to this flight will get some sort of offer to F but anyone with status that gets on this flight will be put on the upgrade standby list and will have a good shot to be upgraded sometime before 7am tomorrow. At least that's how I am understanding this.
