Fairly regular basis? I've been flying over 30 years and except for someone making a mistake - I've not seen a self upgrader on purpose for F - versus a non-rev, switching with a spouse, switching with a family member, or a FA telling someone to move up. Quite frankly - If I observed a true self upgrader, I'd say something - and I hope most on FT and the general public would say something - I don't want another 9/11 situation.
