+ ^ for most of out stations, this statement is more or less true. For my last flight from IAD to ORF, we waited for 20 minutes to cross the last 100 feet.
Back to E75, I had a nice ride from DFW to ORD back in July. Upgrades were very easy for anyone with status. For busy routes with a lot of elites, the upgrade chance is still much better than E70 or C70.
