From what I have learnt, AA holds back a lot of FC seats until the last minute. It dribbles out some seats during its 100/72/24 hour upgrade windows and keeps people on a waiting list.</font>
Don't totally agree with this. I am EXP and my hit rate with being upgraded 100 hrs before the flight (if I actually bought my ticket that far in advance) is 100%. This 100% equates to a lot of flights since I have been EXP for about 15 months.

Agree with the rest of your post.
