How do you know that F is being filled with upgraders in advance? The other threads in this forum seem to suggest that no one is getting upgraded at the 72 hour window, so which is it?

I would hazard a guess that actually a lot of those in F are paying for it (via full fare instant upgrades, or full F tickets). Of course, this depends on your route.
