January 7, 2012- UA891 LAX-NRT on a Y fare.
Booked on 4JAN. 24 Hours prior to departure the old 777 swapped to a new 777.
At the airport #2 on the upgrade list showing 6 seats available. Watched the seats available count down while no one on the upgrade list moved. Eventually only one person cleared leaving me #1 with C checked in full.
Buy Y, fly Y, boys
