Some strategic POUGing from Y to W after carefully scrutinising the availability on Expertflyer led fortunately to an op-up W-J on LHR-JFK last week. On the same point, it's always a little surprising to me when POUGs are offered into cabins that look almost full. I guess BA are happy to have a bit more cash in their pocket, regardless of where they end up seating people on board.
Just to add - I tried it again on the return but failed to beat the system on that occasion. But i had the only spare seat next to me free so it was still a good result.
