I am GS and my success rate sucks! And when I dont, I am far down the list. I was 15th on the list once. This week 5th and no FC upgrades handed out at all. And we are talking a 20 FC seat cabin. Next week already, nada. 100% booked. UAL is all about selling FC or giving it away for minimal $$ at the expense of CPU's... So those dreaming of GS pampering, it really is no different than 1K (and have read this from others). When I had Presidential Platinum for 2 years with Continental, it was great service. Upgraded 100% 6 days in advance.
