Agent (from India) was going to "conference" me in with the upgrade specialist... put on hold and then... bam! new agent with no idea what i was talking about. He, again "held" the seats, and while buying them, a premier was upgraded and only one seat was available. Nothing they could do. Really a bummer on the service end. Couldn't even speak with someone in the states.
Bolding mine: Did I miss something? What <the you know what> is an "upgrade specialist'?
