Why am I always last?
I know I'm just an FO on a T fare, but why am I always last on the UG list? I mean, there must be another FO on a T fare somewhere out there?
It's funny at this point, really. First I was 2 of 2... then 4 of 4... now 7 of 7...
Am I the only FO in the world?

sorry I use to be the last on the list too but then I became GOLD!

Heh... it's truly funny, and I really don't mind, I know my place in the pecking order... but... there must be ANOTHER FO out there on this flight. I wouldn't even mind if I was just 56 out of 57. Let me be ahead of someone! Anyone?

With all the possible combinations of Medallion levels and fare classes, another FO on a T fare isn't really that likely when there are 7 people on the waiting list. Once it gets up to 57 though, you might find yourself in #55 or #56.

lowest of the low...
why would one expect to be higher on the list with the lowest of the low "T" fare --- if you want to get an upgrade as Silver, you need to buy more expensive fares, as well as find flights that aren't normally traveled -- i.e. mid-week or extremely early am Sat/Sun flights ...
Good luck!
