Very true and I've had to do that twice since 3/3.

Amazing and let's hope this is for the long haul but was waitlisted for an IAH-BOS using a regional for next week and received an email this morning that the waitlist upgrade cleared - never received an email like that before aside from the sporadic UDU email back in the day.
