Now 14 FC remaining with less then 3 days, delta thinks they can move em.

I don't necessarily think there is a rhyme or reason to it. I've been on a couple PHX-JFK redeyes within the last month. The first one I cleared at window and there were only a few seats open in FC for gate upgrades. The second flight they were holding back 15 seats for gate upgrades. Whether on not one buys a C+ seat wouldn't be a factor in the number of seats they are holding back for upgrades.
