But seeing several CKs on the upgrade list recently, seems to contradict... Maybe I need to figure out how to get one of these nominations

When I used to be CK, my company had a corporate policy that flights had to be more than 6 hours to book Biz/First. As such, any mid-continental trips (based in BOS) would be in coach. Of course, CK wasn't a factor in upgrades then, but undoubtedly it would have been put to use.
