(Oh, and FWIW, technically, I didn't misunderstand the problem, as the current issue is indeed a symptom of "the waitlist processor [not] run[ning] immediately" "when the inventory management folks decide to release some extra seats into U (from F)." I just misunderstood the design...which means that the problem I noticed still exists, except that now it's a problem of design rather than programming errors or delays.
You mentioned a potential fix that you were unsure of the implementation date for...that is the real fix that needs to occur.)

I actually would like AS to implement an extremely complex, convoluted, unpublished upgrading process. Maybe even a lotto. bring the excitement back into getting upgrades!

It's good to see I'm not the only one that sees random reasons why someone is bumped to first. But I just sit there and think they must have been higher up than me or paid. It makes me feel better about my free drink in coach
