I tweeted to @DeltaAssist and I was told the RUC was applied incorrectly. The good news is I was upgraded MSP-SAN and when applied correctly it was good for SAN-ATL as well. I wouldn't have made it last night if I hadn't checked. There were two other RUC requests so I ended up being 3rd on the list. How does RUC priority work considering status, etc.? I am DM but with my RUC applied incorrectly I was late to the party.
AFAIK there's no published statement by DL about how RUC/GUC/SWU/miles upgrade priority works except that the Reserve card has no impact.
