On a hub-to-hub flight it would be tough to get upgraded as a Gold, impossible as a Silver. If they have 3 flights leaving within minutes of each other, I tend to book the last one because most have the tendency to book as early as possible which tends to increase the competition.

More importantly, based on your ITN figures, were they soliciting for volunteers?

Typically the only routes I find it hard as a gold are NW DTW-MSP and reverse and CO MSP-EWR and reservse...all other routes I don't have much of a problem
