There are enough UA elites going to Seattle from SFO, and the few that sill remain in SEA also take it. Given that no one wants the crap CRJ200, and there is no effective earlier flight, it gets heavily impacted.

UA is being chased out of Seattle, and this flight is a good example. I've actually seen it go out only 2/3 full in coach, yet the upgrade list is over 60 long.

On Friday its usually a CO 739, but list is equally long.

Basically UA is getting little traffic that I can see SFO-SEA-SFO other than its own elite fliers who are left.
I finished #5 of 77 on the list today! Longest list I've ever seen on a UA flight. 1K on a "W" fare with a GPU. That means more than 50% of the airplane was upgrade eligible. Crazy.
