Precisely. And, even if IRROPS had happened, it would be irrelevant here. It was F2, with at least two people (vail and mrs. vail) on the list when the grandson did OLCI. Now, unless more seats were being held (and this does happen for Y oversell cases), then there were just those 2 seats, and at least 2 on the upgrade list, waiting, when the LFBU was offered. At that point, it would already have been impossible to clear the upgrade list.

vail - did you happen to look at the seat map as well as the inventory? Within 24 hours, the seat map is typically a more accurate predictor of the number of actual open seats than the inventory. It would be interesting to correlate that as well.

Cheers.
