Stampede report: this past friday the 4pm EWR-PBI flight had about 40 elites run up on preboarding. PC agent couldn't even find my name on the upgrade list at first. It was a 753 and had been sold out in FC more than a week in advance, but I think a few last minute cancels/no-shows probably resulted in a few lucky Platinums.
