With public upgrade lists, it's now very easy to see who used eUpgrades.

I need to book SFO-BWI.
On DL, it's $400 for Y or $600 for J.
But a J seat takes up twice the real estate as a Y seat.
So how is it even remotely sensible for them to charge these prices? At $800, they're not covering the food/drink I'll consume. They'd need to charge at least $850 to make it worthwhile over just replacing J with Y.
