And we know this how? Because as it has been said time and time again:
1) travelers are required to book the lowest contract fare, which in IADLAX is not a YCA
2) reservations are for the most part not ticketed until 3 days out, which would suggest that potentially most upgrades for 1K, Platinum, Gold have been processed
3) also should note that clearly UA is restricting upgrades because the lowest contract fares book into W or U instead of M, which removes the ability for 1K/Platinum to upgrade in advance
