Now if you are saying "fly to FL on a Sunday morning at 7:00am and then fly back out on a Tuesday night at midnight and you can get upgrades" then say it.

In my experience it is difficult to get upgrades on the FL routes (at reasonable times) - started Silver and will reach Plat next week. Hopefully I will find that as a Plat things get a little more generous.
My wife and I (each Platinum) fly a lot of EWR-TPA and some IAH-TPA (doing this next Thursday morning) and we are batting about 60%.
