You're choosing a route that's well known to be among the most difficult in the system for better upgrade chances?

You're not 75th on the totem pole for upgrades, you are behind probably 45 pax who have paid for F, three who were upgraded, and 25
higher status pax who also died on the waitlist. Doesn't that tell you something about what you are competing against? An expectations adjustment may be in order.
