As the one who had originally been convinced that OpUps were NO MORE, I now stand (happily) corrected . Earlier this month on a friday evening EWR-DUB flight my name was called just as I was handing my 10C boarding pass to the gate agent. My original BP was torn up and I was asked whether I wanted 'window or aisle' (showing clearly there were a numbr of BF seats available). After settling into my 4B seat, one of the FA's approached me to thank me for being one of their 'best customers'.
