Yes, the usual experience is 'dead last' or 'next to last'.
The experience reminds me of the late, great Steve Goodman:
A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request
When you raise up a young boy's hopes,
And then just crush them, like so many paper beer cups,
Year after year after year,
After year, after year, after year, after year, after year.

Not really flying DL very much anymore. There is very little incentive re upgrades. A total surprise if it happens. But, unfortunately, hope springs eternal, only to be mercilessly crushed...
