Also, the DL gate area and lounge at DCA tend to be a crowded mess at anything near a peak time.

Lame with the less flights. DCA is elite heavy all week and the Skyclub line has gone out the door multiple times at DCA.

Upgrade rate during the week for a Silver, 0% and 2% for Gold. Even as a Silver I wouldn't make an upgrade to BOS or CVG. Heck when I was Platinum Medallion I missed upgrades for DCA-BOS TWICE! And that is usually a guaranteed upgrade for me. Fear no longer, being DM is a blessing when it comes to getting an upgrade!
