My question to other EXP's is, is it worth mentioning something to this gate agent (she is often the agent for my flights out of SAN) or the station manager about what are the upgrade policies? Do friends come first before loyal customers? One fear I have is that if I say anything, next time I'm wait listed on a flight that she is incharge of, I'll be screwed.
