As that was my first upgrade as a DL GM, I'm curious as to whether or not it's unusual for me to have been upgraded a day before the GM upgrade window is supposed to open. That has never happened to me on CO or UA.

So - is this slightly-advanced upgrade common on DL? I'd been following the V-space (on ExpertFlyer) for the past week or so, and it looks like one other GM was upgraded at the same time I was (beforehand, flight was F7 V4; after, it dropped to F5 V2). Just curious for others' experiences - thanks

I have always been upgraded at 6 days out as a DM and a Plat so I think this is the normal window, no? (I realize the stated window is 5, 3, 1 but that has never been the case for me)
