They must have feathered the fee in - I was but a gold when they started doing premium seating, and there was no fee back then.

Running the math, even the "first class upgrade" section is more expensive than just paying it out of pocket in seat selection. The fee came out to $45 a person including taxes, but there's a $48 difference between MC and PCU in their chart.
