What is wrong with F seats being empty? </font>
I'm silver on DL and NW...and I think Rusty's point was this. On NW if I fail to get an upgrade, I know it's because first class is full...that's it.

On DL if I fail to get an upgrade, it may well be that the seat is empty, and I did not snag the upgrade because I didn't pay enough. That sets up a terrible psychology of..."do I deliberately pay a higher fare, just for the possibility of an upgrade?" That's simply bad business!
