Probably a fluke, AA has an institutionalised and very public upgrade process, typically oversubscribed. There may be times when Y is oversold and with no AA elites who request or warrant upgrades, but it will indeed be a rarity. Seen a couple of empty seats on LAX-SAN on the 12 F Embraers

MM ffom an upgraded 1C pn the party plane to end all party planes - three stag dos on their way to PRG for the weekend
