Air Canada would have my money now if i could use my eUpgrades in combo with buying 2 latitude fares....
Well if I were you this would be my strategy: buy a lat ticket right now and get on the waitlist, and set a deadline for yourself for the wait. Monitor the Y cabin load closely on the T+ fare classes because that'll determine how much you'll pay if you end up having to rebook into T+. If your upgrade doesn't get cleared by that deadline, get a full refund for your lat ticket and immediately rebook into T+.
