One of our 4 seats is a G seat which doesn't exist in MCE. We've put in for 4 mileage and co-pay upgrades to J, any idea as to the odds of getting that? Retrofit schedule for the last two aircraft?
There are only 2 non-PE equipped 77W's left. Looks like your flight is on one of them tonight (N717AN).
Within a month, there will be no non-PE 77W's left (likely sooner). I would imagine N717AN or N734AR will go to PAE this week sometime, followed by the one that doesn't go this week to go late next week or early the week thereafter.
RE: odds of upgrade for 4... it's a Monday flight at 7pm... going to be decent odds you'll clear at least some of them if you have status.
