If I was AC, I would do this:
1. Clear all Altitude Upgrades
2. Process Bids for 50-75% of seats T-2 or 3 days (would depend on data about last minute J purchases and stuff).
3. Clear bids
4. Offer LMU T-24h adjusted for an internal reserve price and expected demand.
AC gets to fill J while still having an opportunity to extract more value with better priced LMU.
If I was AC, I would not do step 1 until after step 4.
