Do we have any information on upgrades on other routes? AM's website seems to imply that they upgrade their elites at T-72, but isn't really clear on if this applies to non US/MX routes or to STE+.
As far as MEX to US, I upgraded several times in Nov and Dec, Chat line said adding to "standby list" no longer necessary, I asked at check in and was cleared very early at gate. Today's agents (and some early this month) seemed to clear some very surprised FOs. Each time I upgraded Nov/Dec I received 150% MQM. Waiting for something from this month to post to see if this continues.
