I see a lot of open seats. But then again I don't fly hub to hub a lot

this week’s loads are very light so I might get a shot at the front on my UA flight in the morning.

I certainly wouldn't purchase 2 stickers for this route especially on the E75, which is a pleasant ride even in coach. Now if I had dozens of them sure I would use them...

Multiple empty seats in J and F on the 3pm LAX-JFK on Tuesday last week. Not hugely surprising given the timing of the flight and day of the week, but when I checked the upgrade list for fun about an hour before boarding it showed that not one person had even requested an upgrade!

It was quite a contrast to the outbound JFK-LAX on Friday evening (the 5.15pm departure) that was completely full in J for weeks leading up to the flight, F still had a few empties until closer in and my wife saw one J passenger upgrade to F onboard. Based on what she said it sounded as it if were a miles+copay deal. Not being an AAdvantage person I didn't realise you could upgrade onboard in that way.

The three CKs I saw were all in F.

If it comes to M+Copay, I personally don't think it's a good deal as the copay is $175 (not for CK). Upgrading at gate means missing the FFD experience as well.
