PDA Upgrade List help
I was trying to check out how many people were upgraded on flight 1829 last night SFO-EWR. The PDA list shows 7. Is there a way to know how many were on the list to begin with in order to assess my chances of an upgrade on a future flight? Is there a way to know the status of people on the list (i.e. platinum, gold, etc)? Also, when the list shows that 7 were upgraded, does that mean all 7 were upgraded at the airport or could some of these been EUAs?

The chances of getting upgraded on this flight if you aren't Plat on a high fare are slim to none. Last week, a full 39 passengers were elite on the standby list. 
Only 2 cleared.

Thanks for your informative answers. I'm Plat traveling on an H fare so there may be a shot, but obviously not as good as on a Y fare
