But R=9
is a good indicator of clearing an upgrade. And that's exactly the scenario reported by the OP.

Unjustified? Are you saying you have not seen any faulty IT from CO IT?
Given what I experience with them on a regular basis, it's a pretty safe bet that IT malfunction is a more likely cause than strategically holding back 9+ seats on a leisure route, especially when they've acknowledged said bug.
So basically, your argument is that CO can hold back seats, and on a light Elite market like this, R=9+ means they're holding back 9 or more seats, and we're willing to ignore the fact that CO has acknowledged bugs in the upgrade process that stall EUA from running.
Sure that's technically possible, but odds are that's not what's happening here.
