20 JAN MCO-SEA AS 9, 700AM departure (yay, its back!), MVPG 75K, booked 36 hours out. Was #9 on list. 3 cleared. Whats odd is I only saw the FA give out 2 other players, so wondering if my recent upgrade back to 75K didn't quite hit all the systems

Waitlist was 41, with 6 cleared at the start of boarding. I'd applied a GGU at booking last month.

75K
Fare Class: T (as I recall)
2 75Ks on 1 PNR.
Flight was F7U0 all the way up until 75 minutes prior to takeoff. We were 1 & 2 on the list, and upgraded into the seats right in front of CDKing, as we requested.
(Or would have requested if we'd known!)...then we were on the return as well (MR!)...
BOS-PDX
AS 33
75K
Again, 2 75Ks on 1 PNR (did not leave my wife in BOS!)
Again, flight F7U0 until about an hour prior to takeoff (even though AS knew it was a 16F plane well before that - it was inbounding from PDX!). This time, we were 2 & 3 on the list, but we (and 7 others) were upgraded.

It seems like holding back six would be sufficient.
