As others have said, 39 or so is tame. Come down to TPA and you might see double that...

As someone who lived in Atlanta for years 30's on some routes would be a victory, most ever seen was 74 and as a top status holder with AMEX I have been as low as 17 on a list before that mens there were 16 other diamonds ahead of me and who knows how man behind. Just another reason why delta needs to stop giving people MQM without flying, it would clean up alot of this mess

first off, what everyone is forgetting, is that any of the #'s mentioned here could also include non-elites.

Election day tomorrow; two big statewide issues on the ballot. My guess is lots of "outside help" coming in...

Really? I've never had any problems getting upgraded on LGA-ATL. Only time I missed ATL-LGA was after the monster Xmas snowstorm last year.

Hee hee.... #34 out of 60 for EWR-ATL last week (PM too) ... plane only holds 105 coach passengers, so 60% of plane was ELITE.

International SuperComputing

The international supercomputing conference is gearing up in SEA and tends to heavily impact Airlines and Hotels. On the bright side, for a week, Seattle will have more computing power than most nations on earth

As a FO you should already treat upgrades as a nice surprise.

FWIW you can find MUCH longer UG list in ATL
Once when I was a GM, I asked if I made the upgrade in ATL and the GA told me I was number 29 on the list.

Upgrade to Hawaii

Can anyone explain why Delta does not offer FC upgrades to Hawaii? Who gets the seats if there are any FC unsold?
