Hi Daniel.... As you've posed essentially the same issue here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...l#post20709996
and FlyerTalk disapproves of cross-posting we'll close this thread, with a note that appearing early won't be a factor in upgrade clearing, though you will want to meet check-in and boarding times to preserve your reserved space.
