For whatever reason, flights are not being filled with elites until the 24 hour point.
Well, its 6:30 in San Francisco. I checked before doing OLCI for my OAK-IAH tomorrow at 6:25 AM. Just prior to OLCI, I was still in V class and there were 9 unfilled FC seats. I checked in SEQ #1 and was assigned 2E. I later went back to the seat chart and there I was, 2 E was now filled.
IMO, until this thing is stable again, anyone not confirmed in FC should really try to be SEQ 1 if they want to ride up front.
Edited to add:
I've been following the seat chart. At 7 Am the flight was down ot 6 open FC seats. At 8 AM its down to 4. This sure looks like seats being assigned at OLCI to (hopefully plats) and definitely not like some EUA action.
