Since an instrument upgrade with 1K trumps a lot of other upgrade options, I feel cautiously optimistic. It's a 6:30 am departure on Wednesday with what appears to be an empty forward cabin. I just like the reassurance of seeing that it's cleared. Now I have to wait up to six weeks to see if that actually comes to fruition.
If my upgrade window comes and goes without the upgrade clearing, I lower my expectations to a coin-toss chance of getting in F. If the upgrade still hasn't cleared at T-24, I set expectations to 0. As mentioned, TODs rule on game day!
