I'm hoping to get off this route after Feb though and be able to fly west coast stuff where I'll have an opportunity at the upgrade. They definitely seem harder to get lately especially on this route as I think more people are using miles to Pre-upgrade and buying/awarding into the seats leaving only a couple left for upgrades!
Are they flying A320's on your route or A321s? Also at times depending on cost, I usually go after a higher fare for my upgrades.
