I don't understand how upgrade percentage is accurately judged in Jan/Feb. It tends to be a busy time for business travelers for getting the year started and you have essentially a bulk of elites from two years until some of their status expires on 3/1.

I'm an FO (will be DM by the end of Q2) and have beat 20%. I recognize it is route dependent, but I've still be traveling in/out of hubs being BOS based.
