I have done ok this year, actually excellent. 17/18 legs so far. Only fail was this past Wednesday coming back to DCA from ORD. The storm - my leg was CANX so I did standby on the next one and was grateful to be in 19C. Cant complain.

Haven’t commented on this thread yet this year. I am pretty impressed with upgrades clearing at or near T-100. Except for some reason DFW-DEN...I think it was convention traffic ‘buying up’ for these trips.
