I doubt it. Comparing the business and first u/g lists, since after #43 on the J list, the names (except maybe one) are the same as the F list, so I believe those are employees standing by. If I'm right in that, that suggests that no more than 43 w/l for J and 12 12 w/l for F, which is fewer than a Thursday afternoon hub-hub flight.

Fundamentally, I don't think very many people actually *bought* seats on this flight to be eligible for the normal upgrade process. I assume the "media" seats weren't paid for.
