Aside from which, I have heard VX allows day of departure upgrades for $50 (at least on short flights).
Anyone else getting nervous about booking on VX?
Nope. They have plenty of money, and loads are looking good, especially out of Seattle. The fare difference between F and Y is $100 if you book in advance, so I don't know what you mean by being "out a lot of money", considering you seem to be willing to pay $50 for standby.
