Website showed "waitlisted for PC" on my reservation just fine, and the gate agent generally was confused as well about how it happened.
I'm now 0/13 in getting upgraded to PC this year, forget F. I never would've guessed that I'd have better luck getting good seating on UA as *G than on AS as MVPG.
That the agents don't know what is going on with upgrades for both PC and FC (based on numerous reports here) says that something is seriously wrong. Actions speak louder than words, and AS has been fairly silent from both perspectives it seems.
I'm not getting upgraded on DL at all this year either but at least that's because I know I'm not a DM or PM and that I can usually buy an affordable F fare more often than not.
