Hang in there, you'll get moved up.
You know to go to the counter and ask 40 min before takeoff, right?
I seem to get upgraded 50-75% of the time depending upon the time of year. Just last month my wife and child (neither Elite) got upgraded with me on both legs of an MCO to IND trip.
(another perk going since Southwest won't even let them get in the A line with me!)
