I'll be on that same flight (and am desperately hoping to get upgraded as I'm originating from SYD), so I might be lowering your chances of scoring the upgrade). However, I do have 15 eUps left that expire at the end of Feb and 3 nominee slots left, so if R>0 at T-7 for your Feb 17th flight, I'd be more than happy to sponsor you. (with the caveat that I wouldn't be able to submit the request at exactly T-168 hours since I think I'll already be in the air from SYD-YYZ at that exact time)
