What I am saying is that they may do this, but this is not really how the upgrade policy reads. I know this has been debated before, but if the CP window is 7 days for restricted fares, then they should release the seats to CPs at 7 days. If they want to hold them longer and sell them, then they should change the upgrade window to something shorter than 7 days.
