As I learned in a much earlier thread, upgrades on CO very, very much depend on where you're flying out of.

I had rotten, really terrible luck upgrading on CO from Houston to St Louis. Over a year, 3 upgrades as a lowly Bronze Elite.

Now, I know I'm comparing apples and oranges, here, but please bear with me...on Northwest, when I couldn't get a FC upgrade, I could at least get a DC9 exit row seat and still get the leg room and board first (which I NEVER got on CO..exit row, that is, not getting to board first, I did get to board ahead of the madding crowd and have room for my one carryon...but no exit row for my poor old six feet four inches) and when I hit WorldPerks Gold, my percentage of FC upgrades went into the stratosphere. I can't tell you the last time I did not get upgraded on Northwest...it did happen 2 or 3 times in 1998, but that's all.

Better service than Delta's Platinum Medallion!

Perhaps, it just depends on WHERE you are flying out of/in to on NW or CO.
