Upthread, posters have discussed that they seem to get UG'd at the gate if at all, recently.
My flight is tomorrow evening SEA-SLC - we're at T-28.5 and two F seats still show unassigned (for what the seat map is worth).
Delta does not factor time of check-in for upgrade priority. Delta pretty much always holds back FC seats for last minute sale, so the fact that 2 seats are empty does not mean all Delta Elites have already been upgraded. I suspect you will see a number of Delta elites on the upgrade list for the flight. As they check-in for the flight, they will bump you down the upgrade list (the upgrade list only shows those of have checked in for the flight).
