Flying back on Sunday CLT-IAH-LAX. CLT-IAH is an RJ.

We're now 2 hours outside of the 1K window, and I'm seeing R8. We'll see what happens in a couple of hours.
Question: On your IAD-CLT flight, how do you know that there were no GS or other 1k members with higher fares ahead of you in the upgrade queue?
