I agree that its virtually impoossible for there not to have been other elites on the plane. If CO really is holding back loads of seats until the last minute, it is very likely that the gate agents are too busy/lazy to process last minute upgrades and the CO elites are not getting the benefits they should.</font>
Say you are an elite sitting in coach. The plane takes off and you notice eight empty fc seats. Would it help at all to ask a FA why you weren't upgraded at the gate? When you land, do you complain? I know the next time I fly, (next week)if I do not receive the e-mail stating that an upgrade was processed and there are eight empty FC seats on the plane, I will complain to someone!
