What do other FTers do when upgrades have not been processed and boarding has already begun? Do you take the seat in Y and hope for the battlefield or do you hover around the desk and hope?

It depends:
1)If the flight is packed and I need to stow my carry-on(s), I will board ASAP.
2)Length of the flight, on short flights it is not *really* worth sweating.
3)Time of day, I normally don't drink alcohol on those 6:00am flights.
4) Business or pleasure, I will have an eye-opener most any time on my own time.
Once I upgraded a business associate with a coupon on NW. The front was full, coach had maybe 12 pax. He was kind enough to point out to me he would have had more room in the back.
