Fair enough, as long as you know what you're getting into with respect to the routes/times that you fly. I see some clanky metal baggage tags trekking it into coach on ~80% of my Delta domestic flights, so it's definitely not a sure thing everywhere you go. Unless you join us in the WFBF camp; we don't bite!
I will also concede that, like you, I've had decent success with upgrades as an AF/AS elite when I do fly coach fares, considering that we get thrown to the bottom of the list.
