Thanks for the answers guys. I was getting small delay, but all seems to be working with the auto-upgrades. For the record I'm happy doesn't allow 8 companions into E+. Most frequent travelers are business travelers who are not traveling with 8 companions. So most would not appreciate the dilution of the comfort plus cabin.
