I think I waste almost as much time checking for open R status than the actual BIS time of these flights I want to upgrade. Last night jumped on to find R2 RN2 for a SYD-SFO flight where I had a GPU. Excited, called United but literally lost the seats in real time. Curious if I lost out to another FTer (which I tip my cap) or was there a lag time in auto processing. Either way, there has got to be a better solution for this.
