Yes, I couldn't agree more. I'm also a Diamond out of LA and I used to get upgraded in advance on the flights to ATL (usually a LUT class fare). But lately, no more advanced upgrades ... and on my way to the back.

Actually, this brings me to a question, I usually see open FC seats on my flight -5 days before the flight ... it is okay for Delta to not process upgrades and instead sell that inventory till the last day? I thought their upgrade policy means anything not sold -5 days are upgrade inventory.
