Does MrHiFly have status? If not, then its unlikely he'd ever have been op-up'd- status passengers will invariably come first.

He should not have been told that he would be able to upgrade at the airport; you cannot MFU at the airport and I guess they were trying to indicate that he could ask about a paid upgrade.
