Not flying with Chester a whole lot recently. I kind of miss flying with him.
6/26 PHX-SEA 140p departure: No UG.
6/27 SEA-PHX 330p departure: UG @ 120 hr
7/8 PHX-PDX 1230p departure: UG sometime overnight. Never got an email or any other alert from AS. When I pulled my iPhone BP out at security I noticed I had no seat!

AS 1005
MVPG
Fare Class: G
Cleared at ~ T-50 hrs (U1 was available at about a week before, U2 at T-120 hrs. Would have used GGU if I wasn't pretty confident I'd clear. Cabin was basically wide open until Gold UG window opened)

K Class
Cleared ~T12-18 (no email, per usual. Checked seats when woke up and discovered I could select F) after being 1 of 11 on waitlist. Three others cleared from waitlist later on, and all were removed from waitlist after (not acknowledged with a check mark). If you're MVP or MVPG and you never seen people getting upgraded to F, this is likely why.

7/30 PHX-PDX 1230p departure: UG @ 4-ish hours. I got the email this time! Yay!
8/1 PDX-SEA 535p departure: UG @ 120 hr onto a retrofitted A320. Nice plane.
8/1 SEA-PDX 755p departure: No UG. Changed to this flight at the last minute and was just happy to get an aisle. Slummed it in the way, way, way back of the plane. Wasn’t on the UG list for some reason so I missed out on an open PC aisle. Regular Y still seems decent on the 800s. Good crew.
