Also, do the zeroes mean that I won't get upgraded for sure on these flights? I have silver status but usually have the full-fare tickets (Y class for example).
Welcome to FlyerTalk!

A couple of questions:

1) what is your routing? Domestic? international?
2) are you looking segment by segment or origin to destination? When looking for confirmable space, it's important to look segment by segment
