For me, CPU's have been much better the last two months. My status is Gold. I cleared 4 of 5 flights in the past week alone (all K class) and am now around 65%-70% for the year.
SMF-LAX Friday night. CRJ700. I SDC'ed to this flight 2 hours before departure and did not clear but was #1 on upgrade list
LAX-IAH Friday night redeye. Dreamliner. I SDC'ed to this flight around 6 hours before departure and cleared within 5 minutes. Although to be fair, the reason I changed flights was because I had 0% change of a CPU on my original flight. There's a story behind the SDC process but I'll save that for another thread.
DTW-DEN Tuesday. CRJ700. Cleared after boarding when someone didn't show up
DEN-IAH Wednesday. Dreamliner. Cleared at 48 hours
IAH-SMF Thursday. 737-900. Cleared at 48 hours
I must say, first class on the Dreamliner, twice in a week, was a real treat and something I could get used to. But will probably never see it again.
