Normally I don't try to figure this stuff out because this new upgrade process makes no sense to me.

I am flying on Thursday on Flight 409. According to the webpage it says the people on this list are people that are checked in already which is how they are on the list. According to what I see there are 6 open seats for sale/upgrade because I have not been upgraded in the 96 hour window or whatever it is for 1k.

Are these people on the list because their upgrade already cleared and they are checked in? Or one or both?

Getting to the end of my United rope....thinking AA may be in my future.
