Well, CO is a mixed bag. I do very well on upgrades to Central and northern South America. (IAH-SJO, EWR-LIM, etc) For domestic itineraries, I am at about 40%. However, if you choose your routes carefully, and avoid the very busy times, you might get it up to 50-60%. If you fly traditionally busy days (Friday/Monday), especially transcons, you may only be at 20% upgrades.
