Both my wife and I have been on Airbus 319/320 flights in the past 2 months where people were upgraded into 1B and 1E. In June, July, and into August, we were selecting 1A and 1F regularly on these flights because we found that they were leaving 1B and 1E open. That is no longer true - they will fill 1B and 1E as needed with paying or upgraded passengers. Those seats may appear to be blocked when you book, but they may eventually be filled. I remember the first time it happened to my wife in August. She texted me and said "upgrade list shows someone upgraded into 1E". She was in 1F on that flight. My response was "it was too good to last".
