Not the longest I’ve personally seen but there are currently 52 on the list on DL1328, SNA-ATL today for 0 seats. Not surprised.

RDU-ATL has to be the champ here, especially if we're adjusting for flight distance.

YMMV, flew ATL-RDU a couple of Thursday’s ago and got upgraded just after T-24 as a GM. It was the 11:30pm departure though, so that may have had an impact on it.

On a DTW/MDW RJ with 9 F seats on Weds I was upgraded at the window but at the gate only 1 seat and 40 on the upgrade list so half the plane must have had status. Seeing there are only 60 seats in Y that meant 2/3rds of the plane had status

Glad I have a bulkhead C+ seat. Don’t think I’ve ever been this low before.

PM on award ticket, ATL-DCA, A321.

C+ list is 20+ long.

Yesterday's MHH-ATL had 1 name on the F upgrade list (longest list I've seen in a while). There was 1 F seat available, but the GA did not bother to process the upgrade so the seat went out empty. There were no names on the C+ upgrade list, but some standby passengers cleared into those.

PBI-ATL on a 752.

58 on the list for 1 precious seat.

On a GAP fare so all worked out well for me.

If the upgrade wasn't processed, a standby should get the F seat (though the upgrade should be processed, and I know if I were #1 on the list I'd be asking about that).

What medallion level are you? Which fare class?

DM in M at #71 is impressive. Silver in T at #71 , we've seen worse.

If a DM is at 71 there’s probably an IT glitch.
