That's why I fly AA or UA internationally, unless I need DL miles. No way will I buy an "upgradable" fare on DL because they're too expensive and there's not always a guarantee the upgrade will go through. So it's a rock-bottom fare for me or nothing thanks to stupid upgrade rules on DL/CO/NW.

I talked to the reward & elite lines and they said "we would rather the seats go empty than give them to an elite for an upgrade".
