That is good to hear! I'm flying DL three times in May so we'll see how it goes. I actually suspect it might be moot for me as after getting burned in the past, if I am anywhere near the top of the upgrade list, I am going to WAIT until all of FC has boarded so I know there is NO chance of me upgrading...

It still isn't clear to me how you can tell from GIDs if FC has actually all boarded the plain, and not just "checked in" since they might have done that 24 hours ago but are missing the flight because of connections or took an earlier flight...

Hmm...I might actually discuss this with the CRC people and see what the latest policy is...but I'm going off topic now...
