On ATL-DCA/DCA-ATL, I almost always see some really long (60+) lists, usually fighting for 0 seats. Then again, I usually fly out of ATL on Sun/Mon morn and DCA Thurs/Fri afternoon.

All, I haven't got time to read this whole thread, but if this isn't #1 it is darn close!

JAX-ATL, DL 1502 this afternoon. I was 16 of 50 on a 75N. This flight had about 30 open seats yesterday, and 8 were in F. Apparently everyone had the same idea I did about switching to the 2:10 and snagging a seat up front... Instead I ended up in a middle seat (exit row, at least).

140 here and 130 here.
I didn't read all the initial posts so there could still be some higher than that...

On Friday, 1/27, I was 46 out of 99 on DL 1680 SFO>ATL. One of my cohorts was 97th.
Happy to UG both directions ATL>PHL>ATL this week as a lowly Gold.

SLC-DCA on Sunday and Monday and DCA-SLC on Thursday and Friday are my worst lists although anything ex-DCA seems to be getting worse on getting upgrades. I normally clear at window but yesterday didnt clear until the gate for my MEM-DCA flight.

Not a DL flight, but looks like we've got competition for swollen lists of Elite pax! A friend of mine just texted me from ORD on his way to SFO on a UA flight. He's a 1K on UA (or whatever that equivalent is now) and is #7 of 96 for 2 remaining seats on a domestic-configured 767. Whoo!
