So that they can get some goodwill from a Full Fare J Class pax on a route with a lot of competition AND get goodwill from a QF Plat FF on a Y tickets AND they can then sell another Y ticket (which is more likley than a F ticket) or not bump someone AND use up some contingent liabilities in the form of upgrade certs!</font>
If they have to do an operational upgrade from J-F due to Y being full and wanting to fit people on, then I would be surprised if they didn't then upgrade the person waiting an upgrade. Given the no-show levels, it is also quite possible that there will be no need to relocate anyone on the day. Giving someone else an upgrade in order to give the member an upgrade would seem mad to me.
