intuition, you got it absolutely correct. And this is what puzzles me - it isn't exactly easy to figure out which way would be the best way forward.
EF is now reporting that the availability in Business class has dramatically dropped after the weekend. So it is full.
Of course the situation lives all the time and AY need to choose the best way forward for the flight. But I was also trying to figure out how strong is the bidding process - let's say for situations that it is your only hope and you really would prefer to be upgraded. In my books, bidding is not so strong option so it is more like a fun game to see if they accept certain offer.
And just for the record, I might have actually taken that if I would have been accepted. Not about loose money but likely about me being stupid enough.
