Shadow, I wouldn't assume too much. AuH2o didn't say that anyone on the upgrade list was denied an upgrade. There were even 2 persons with no status in First on this flight. These domestic segment 3 class aircraft are always popular with United employees for just this reason...most folks are upgrading from Coach to Business, leaving First pretty much empty. Remember, almost every airline allows it's employees to fly First if seats are still available after they have cleared the waitlist.
