I retract my own statement. It seems that I've been given the special treatment on upgrading my past UA ticket/US metal flights, or so says Res. I tried to get on the waitlist for my latest US flight (UA ticket) and I got to listen to a 5 minute word-by-word, no-breather-inbetween explanation on how it is. But then she (the Res Sup) even said there was no defined policy on it, it was just the way it stands. I've also looked and I can't find any specific policy on this scenario on the US website.
Burns me up... There's no reason that US members flying US metal on a DM# shouldn't be able to waitlist for upgrades.... sigh.....
