My post was not to indicate a lack of upgrades, but when upgrades are available.
For example. As a GM, I have upgrades at T-72, if available. That has actually been explained here as 4 days prior, 5pm ET. If I log in and try to book a ticket within this window, I see "upgrade eligible." If I choose Y booking class, then I see "upgrade available."
My questions is why does this difference exist, when within the upgrade window?
