The person that was in second position just last night got upgraded, the person now sitting in second position is a non-rev (might be a pilot) so that means my upgrade won’t happen even if I was on #1 of their list.

Why was the person after me put in First Class instead of me? Any ideas?

It’s a bummer, I’ve never been this close (UA Gold) and now it’s gonna be DOA 😅😩
I’ll send you a positive vibe as a fellow Gold, I think you’ll have a chance. 2 seats open with 7 checked in....assuming you’re #1 now?
How much is the buy up? $200? Not worth it anyway for that short flight, at least not for me.
