At the risk of getting flamed, I'm going to add my anecdote to the pile here. I understand revenue management and all, but this seems a bit excessive to me:

I purchased my ticket and requested an upgrade about 6 weeks ago. My flight is about 48 hours from now and apparently no X inventory has been released yet (yes, I have the automated alert set up). EF is showing:

F7 A5 P0 Y2 B2 H2 K0 M0 L0 W0 V0 S0 N0 G0 Q0 O0

So the good people in rev mgmt expect to sell seven F seats in 48 hours?
