I have, more than once, been upgraded after taking my assigned seat on NW flights.</font>
If it happens, it is nevertheless rare, certainly at the hubs. I don't think I have ever seen it at MSP, and I have been flatly told by every agent and supervisor I have spoken with at DTW that they will not do it. On the other hand, I have only been on perhaps 4-5 CO flights, and I was astonished to see it happen on every one of them.
