A few week late datapoint

BNE-YVR July 18th.

Comfort fare for my wife and son, she's 35k, son no status
Comfort fare for myself and other son, I am 25k, son no status

At opening of Comfort window (3 days) J9, my wife and son clear into business. Flight stays J9

from 72 to 48, goes to J7.

from 48 to 24.5, stays J7. Then myself and my son get a text at 24.5 saying our upgrade has cleared.

Rest of J fills up with stand by employees

Frankly shocked but grateful a 25k with comfort fair cleared a 14 hr flight.
