The inconvenienced flag has some weight on the standby list. Perhaps it also has some weight on the PALL upgrade list.
I learned a lot from this post, so thanks to all that contributed/responeded. I would think that my 90 minute delay was an inconvenience equal to the guys that jumped onto my flight after it's scheduled departure, but no sweat. I did a same day confirm today from LAX to DFW and was hoping to snag an undeserved upgrade. Didn't get it, but I'm posting from home at the moment instead of from the airspace over Nevada.
