Asked the FA to check with the GA and after boarding was almost complete, got a new BP and moved up to J. I guess there were misconnects. No idea if No 1 on the list also got upgraded.
So despite me boarding, I guess the list was still active ?
I had a similar experience on YYZ-MCO in December. My wife and I were 2 & 3 on the list when we boarded. J was checked in full. Half way through boarding we both received a text for the upgrade. A couple traveling together took my Y seats.
