As a silver who flies mostly on Q/V fares I find I'm upgraded 75% of the time. I was even upgraded on a Q the other day from SFO->EWR. When I end up with a B fare I find I'm much more likely to be upgraded. Often B fares are only $20 or so more per segment. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd have to call and have a reservation changed to a B fare manually instead of via co.com I might even intentionally book B fares.
