Things like rogue CS agents decrease my upgrade chances - last year was the first time in many years where my GPUs were not successful as i tend to fly on off days and at off times.
To clarify, I never said I was #7 on the waitlist, but that there were 7 people on the waitlist... they easily could have been no-status/platinum/gold silver with miles+co-pay upgrades pending... So I don't think CS agents are going rogue. If anything, IT is the issue for not processing upgrades pending automatically if PZ space opens up.
