Today I get up, fly to ATL and check one last time to find out they've finally released a P-Fare. I paid $200 at the Skyclub 10 minutes before boarding and got the last seat left (it was showing 2 available seats for upgrade since I checked in yesterday). I probably broke #2 on the upgrade list's heart.
ATL-PHX is about 3 hrs (180 min), so $200 doesn't quite make your $1/min metric for WFBF/FCM ... but good on you for knowing how to play the game
