You are buying Latitude fare. In case if you're buying Tango Plus fare, when can you request an upgrade? January 1, 2001 minus 4 days or 12:01AM on January 1, 2011?
Use the same scenario with paper certs. If you don't have certs in hand and won't get them before your flight date, you shouldn't be able to book the upgrade.

While there's pros and cons, at least it'll be consistent so people with passes don't play the upgrade dance.
