Op-up and upgrade chances
Hey guys.
Wondering what my upgrade chances were as a DM on a T fare on every single route delta operates.
Also, what are my op-up chances on every international route? If I ask the question 6 times on FT will that improve my odds?
(couldn't resist; getting very sick of these)

The best way to improve your chances of an opup are to dance in a circle in flapping your arms and baaing like a sheep. Posting the video online and putting a link on FT will ensure that the FT gods are most aware of your devotion and increase your chances.

There is a real time tracking system that predicts this on a day by day basis, on the monitors at the airports.
I am really embarrassed that I did not know this before. Can't wait to try this out!
Is this the new DL lounge thread?

Thank you for starting this thread that is uber important to me! I also want to know my upgrade chances as a Diamond on U AND T fares on EVERY SINGLE ROUTE that Delta flies, every day of the week, as I need to know VERY SOON, if I should hold back as Platinum or go for it!!! 
Surely, someone has a simple spreadsheet about this, right?
Just a side note - - - In B4 the lock!!

I am in FC on a Breakfast flight tomorrow. What can I expect for choices? I am hoping it is Eggs or Cereal. I like the cereal.

Your chances are very good depanding on the time and day of your flight, but if check in online it should be automatic lol. Make sure to ask for your ice cream. Then again people need to know that an L fare will increase their chances. Lol
