I'm a plat and for the first time since the advent of the electronic upgrades (and for only the second time in three years), I'm sitting in the back.
Luckily, it's a shuttle from DCA-Newark.

I got the email notification of an upgrade for the leg up to Boston and decided to call to find out about the first flight. It turns out there will be NO elite upgrades on that flight Thursday afternoon. All 10 seats are occupied by folks purchasing 1st class tix or folks who are using miles to upgrade the leg as part of a longer trip. No full Y fares will be sitting up front, either.

The agent said she'd never seen this before.
