2/6/2022. DL 552 LAX-BOS. Number of D1 seats available: 6. My position on the upgrade list: 20.

2/8/2022. DL 458 BOS-LAX. Number of D1 seats available: 1. My position on the upgrade list: 2 - For this flight, I had an entire row of C+ to myself. I would say the flight was about 1/3rd full. The Shenanigans suspicion is because I counted 3 unoccupied D1 seats.
Shenanigans are called out when someone feels that non-revs have gotten D1 ahead of them.

Vacant seats suggests late arrivals / missed connections and/or a lazy GA.
