Traveled MCO-ATL Thursday evening. 8 Open F seats prior to boarding. 4 were filled. Boarding starts with 4 still open. As a silver elite, I was not on the upgrade list (a different story in itself), so this thread is not about missing the F upgrade; it's about the timing.

Due to this, several Comfort Plus seats opened up after SKY and Zone 1 had already boarded - when the final 4 were finally upgraded. Those were filled with pax on the standby list.

Is it just me, or is this really unfair for all of those elites that could have had a Comfort Plus seat?
