823 is a hard one to clear because of the SEA passengers book that flight for the continuation to OGG. it has a higher than average paid F load relative to the other daily departures. i try to avoid that flight as well as AS800 SMF-SEA for the same reason.

MVPG, V fare purchased at T-24.5 hrs
- changed my seat from 6C to 7A around T-8 hrs

I **still** haven't been in Premium on a -900

7/31/17 SEA-EWR AS 790 MVP Upgrade cleared at T-48
9/27/17 EWR-SEA AS 31 MVP - odd upgrade: three F seats open up to T-24 and still no upgrade online. When I arrived and checked in a kiosk, I could select a complimentary upgrade to F. Another lady got upgraded to F at the gate, I believe.
10/1/17 SEA-EWR AS 8 MVP Didn't clear 24/39 on waitlist, fully booked flight

This is disappointing. It seems the upgrade OLCI loophole is rearing it's head again.

10/3/17 sea-bna as 734 mvpg 75k fail
10/3/17 SEA-BNA AS 734 MVPG 75K FAIL
K Class Ticket purchased 9/18 (15 days prior)
At T-15 hours 2 F seats still for sale
Mysteriously those 2 seats disappear without anyone clearing from standby upgrade list
Die on the standby list
