I think it is very situational by route, time of day and customer mix versus pilots grabbing the last seat. I’ve had no issues clearing some heavy business routes with deep upgrade lists, but have had leisure-oriented routes nearly sold out 1-2 weeks out. The main culprit, though, are the app up-fares as some of the offers are no brainers when factoring in costs that non-status members would otherwise pay.
