Yeah that is the most frustrating part. Then you walk through the F cabin and see people in the previously available seats without a MP account on their BPs and know they just paid tens of dollars to upgrade.
If American had a flight to Asia out of SEA or if Delta would allow SWUs to be used on reasonably priced economy fares I would switch so fast you'd hear a sonic boom.
