Yeah the usual announcement 'If you are waiting for an upgrade, business class has checked in completely full'.
Once everyone boards, some off duty crew will snag the seats - sometimes. Or someone lower down the upg list.
If I am one or two on the list I will wait. If I am lower down (as low as 26), no point in waiting.
