or, you can man up and choose RUC's. Those plus the GUC's give you plenty of opportunities to upgrade at sLUT fares.

So, since the answer is so easy I am guessing your another one that will switch to AA. With all the people switching to AA, who the heck is going to be left on all those shiny Delta planes? I seriously doubt with all the flyers switching to AA that upgrades will be a cinch to snag as people claim they will be.
