It is possible that a lot of plats got upgraded. Also, albeit probably unrelated, NYC area hotels are extremely full this week, especially those that cater to business travelers on negotiated rates.

I can believe that. Funny though how in that case, in spite of all the postings about Continental's recent tendency to save all upgrading until the last minute, they have given them all away this time. If you try to book this flight on Travelocity in First you get zilch, whereas there are seats available for purchase in Economy.
