Sorry, CX is not AA. No such thing as throw-away upgrades. Freebie upgrade only happens when the cabin is fully booked, and then you wait in line in a pre-set pecking order. DM, GO, and then OWE (AA ExPlat).

Of course, that doesn't stop AA ExPlat that I see often make a scene (and a fool of yourselves) by arguing for comp upgrade simply because you're AA ExPlat and are shock CX doesn't kowtow to you like AA does.
