The 72 hour window also provides a clear view of available inventory for non-rev traffic. Free/reduced travel is a perk of airline employees they deserve...so I have no gripes about that.

Well, that's great, but employees riding in the premium cabins should not come before paying passengers wanting to upgrade using the miles or other forms of "upgrade currency" (i.e. non-complimentary upgrades).
If CO wants to make sure its employees ride up front even though elites w/miles to burn are in the back, that's their business. But it's my business to make sure I'm never one of those elites.
Sorry, CO. No $piff for you.
