If you get "Y" you get lucky and often but not always got the upgrade and the 50% bonus. Sounds like they may have figured out a way to hold the bonus.

I had IRROPS on a recent TALT and got 5k miles added to my account.
Just like with a SDC, they can force an overbook into your original class of service. Doing it as a Y just means you have a lazy or badly trained agent. It shouldn't happen and DL is finally trying to fix this.
