WRONG. Upgrades are a published benefit of the DL FF program. They're not random gifts that employees are free to grant or deny on a whim, especially in instances like this where upgrades are clearly available and should have been processed according to DL's published priority rules but aren't due to either employee laziness or the desire of certain employees to steal those upgrades from their employer and their employer's customers in order to give them instead to friends and family (nonrevs).
