I can't speak to SAN-ORD but I fly ATL/EWR 1-3x/month and I've observed as of late they are opening PZ down to J2 (i.e. it will be J3 PZ1) on most of the mainline flights but
none of the express flights. Seems rather odd they'd open PZ on a 5pm EWR-ATL (on a 319 (!!) nonetheless) but not on a 6am ATL-EWR that's booked 1/12 in F. [MENTION=862577]PSI[/MENTION]Figher37 I'm not sure if your flight is is mainline or express but I'd venture to guess it's not necessarily because UA thinks they can sell the seats, but rather something wrong on the backend code between mainline and express. Again, just my theory, but seems possible.
It ends up leading to 11 gate upgrades which I witnessed a few weeks ago. I know we shouldn't complain about the upgrade but would have been nice to clear at T-96 as a 1K and get your preferred seating choice. I know they could be holding off on the possibility of 175 -> 170 downgrades but it wouldn't hurt them to clear a few in advance.
