CPU didn't clear. Was #2 on upgrade list.

Seat map showed about 12 F seats empty at 96 hours. I kept watching the seats disappear all week. I know the seat map isn't a full proof indication. I called the 1K desk on Thursday to verify that I was on the upgrade list. Agent confirmed I was, and that 4 seats were being held "for sale".

This was the first time I didn't clear an upgrade on a 757 on a Saturday. And it was my first flight after the conversion.
