This can only be a segment-fee upgrade - which are not suppose to be offered unless there are F seats for every Elite, right?
Yet there are only 7 unsold F seats - and I'm already #3 on the list as Plat, so there is no way the number of unsold F seats is equal to or greater than the number of Elites on this flight.
Update: just refreshed the PDA site, and F is sold out...the upgrade cleared and waitlist are the same, so my guess is a bunch of people took the lowball offer and jumped the line.
So what gives here??
Flying IAH-LAX tomorrow morning myself, although I doubt you are on the 7:30am flight since you are connecting.
Just as a data point, it looks like EUA is running fine on my flight. A couple of people were upgraded when the status came up at T-3 days and the remainder of the seats were filled at T-24.
This silver is sitting nice and pretty and 9/10 on the waitlist with 0 seats left in first hahaha. I was able to get an exit row aisle, which is all I was really hoping for.
