why would you assume they just randomly give seats away???
I am on the C+ upgrade list quite frequently since I do a lot of SDC and yes, they do process it. Very consistently. They usually will not automatically move people into middle seats and instead will ask passengers. They *will* clear standbys directlky into C+ middles quite often as usually the people on the C+ list don't want to move to middle seats.
