BUT you also have to think that these are going to be leisure routes (most likely, at least). Therefore, more bottom-feeders and less status pax. On the other hand, many status pax upgrade only on leisure flights (business is paid J) so you may have more on the waitlist.
We'll have to wait and see.
For example, CPH is a very easy route to upgrade on.
