If it's 1005, say so and call it good.
And the no grace for a few miles over on a sticker is still crap. Taking another 500 for 5-10 miles?
I don't have a chart of AA flight distances handy, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. When there was a 50 mile grace, people complained about flights of 1055 miles needing 3 UGs.
Arguably, it would make sense to base the # of upgrades required on the level of service offered on that flight- make snack basket flights comp, plated snack 2 UGs, standard meal 3, etc.
