I just made several reservations for next week and have lousy seats for all three segments. Most are later in the day and I would like to try and snag an exit row as quickly as possible when it comes available to accommodate upgrades.
Anyone here know if there is a set rule?
If things are running according to the published schedule, DM and PM will run around 1700 ATL time on the day that is SIX days prior to the flight. GMs run FOUR days prior, FOs TWO days prior. In other words, for a flight on Friday, upgrades for DM and PM will run Saturday starting at 1700 ATL time. Note that the sweep may take a couple of hours to run.
