It wasn’t a battlefield upgrade, I was the only one on the upgrade list and even with non revs it was not a full cabin. But the gate agent cleared non revs first before the upgrade list and gave a non rev the seat I explicitly asked for. I got upgraded to a center seat but with it not being a full cabin at all and me being the only one on the upgrade list I was not being unreasonable. I’m Platinum on Delta and I’ve asked for a specific seat when I’m #1 on the list with multiple seats open and their agents would do it and with a smile on their face.
