Huh? No avail=No upgrade. Ok, I understand that.
Yes avail=No upgrade. But the availability you're looking at is for purchasing tickets, not upgrades. The wise revenue management process is trying to make the airline money and keep it flying. After all they are "free domestic upgrades based on availability" and right now, there aren't any seats available in the upgrade bucket.
So, as FCTSTY put it, get a sandwich or a salad, preboard, and enjoy your flight (and please don't tell us how rude the gate agent is for not upgrading you).
As long as the number of take-offs = number of landings you should be happy.

Not sure where I'm going, but I'm getting there fast.
