I was lucky on the last fight to snag it, but there was a lot of grousing among the others in the priority line.
My recent flights to/from DFW out of CLT have been F0 well before T-100, in some cases even over two weeks out. Upgrade lists on my last two flights between those cities have been 35+ deep. Must be several EXPs, or just lots of people willing to use stickers. I'm just glad I have AirPass, through which I've been getting YUPs on all those flights. It's nice not to worry about upgrades clearing etc..
