One use case we’re running across lately is that, by design, the system that clears complimentary upgrades stops when it tries to clear the next customer in line, and for one reason or another, cannot complete the upgrade. This most often happens, when the reservation in question needs to be reissued. Normally, this is a rare occurrence. But, as has been noted in the master thread, one side effect of the migration is that we have many more reservations than normal out there with the “A modification has been made …” message.
If you’re in a window where seats are available and upgrades should be clearing, please continue to PM us your examples. With these details, we’ll try to get anything unstuck that may be preventing the system from running as well as identify any other trends that we need to fix.

Thank you Shannon! Half the battle is digging through the integration issues, which I think everyone accepts and understands and the unknowns and assumptions we all tend to make. Your attention here on FT has been fantastic. Thank you!
Wanted to add that I called the 1K line today for the first time after the integration and they answered almost immediately. Based on the wait times that were reported earlier it seems that is fixed. They were excellent as usual.
