C: 20:00 J0 C0 Y1 M1 ....

Say I'm booked on flight C with my City Pass and my flight is today. I really want to get the upgrade on flight B. I cannot book a City Pass segment on flight B because there is no M availability (it will show as sold out on the City Pass Change function). Solution: Change flight to flight A (where there is M availability). Upgrade (where there is J availability). Change flight to flight B (works because there is J availability even though M is sold out)

I've done the above several times and, if you think about it, this represents 3 changes in a few minutes. No SSSS yet.
I thought AC (according to the YVR DO in May) said they were fixing this issue and that one doesn't need to find a M-positive at the 24 hour window in order to get J on a J-positive M0 flight? In other words, one doesn't have to go M1->J1 (on a M0)->J1 and can just do M0->J1 for the same flight?
