This is my first year flying a substantial amount in the USA and I take these flights weekly and have yet to be upgraded once (as a Plat) - i'm hoping once i hit ExP these might clear at least now and then? (i really hope so cause flying economy every week is killing me)

Another quick question - if you board the plane do you get removed from the upgrade request list? I was #2 for upgrade the other night and the plane was boarding early so wasn't sure if I should wait it out or get on.
