The Platinum Cmpanion has something to do after work so she will not be available for upgrades.

Oh yes - of course.

Currently we're the only two people up there on that flight. How many FAs usually work the upper deck on LH?

I don't understand. You're deaf, which means when audible commands are given by the crew, you cannot hear them. Seems like a problem when people are trying to escape a flaming plane.

2-3 plus the galley operator, although I have seen up to four up there at once.

OK. We were joking the other night that if it ended up actually only being the two of us, we'd each have our own FA and should ask them to play bridge. Or if it ended up being 3/8 full, that we hoped that the third person was cool and wanted to talk to us.

No kidding. Does Auntie Anne's subscribe to the same brand of ? I didn't know that...have occasionally bought an almond pretzel from them at Penn Station or BWI if I'm feeling low on the self-control.
