Yet another missed upgrade, uncontrolled gate lice, delayed departure, and totally useless gate agents. I've now missed as many upgrades in the 33 days of 2012 as I did in all of 2011. I know I'm just a lowly DM gamer/ham sandwich, but come on Delta...help a guy out on his birthday!!
I really hope that things improve come March 1st...

I'm right there with you DL DM gamer. So it's not just you. And I haven't changed my travel patterns/days/times much at all. I am also not convinced that March 1 is going to make much of a difference. What I am certain of is that DL has lowered the # of standard FF upg available on the majority of the flights I have been booking. Thank you Expert Flyer. If you haven't joined I recommend it, might change your upgrade success.

Hey, it's my party and I'll cry if I want to!!
I know my u/g percentage is higher than many others that consistently do transcons out of JFK or ATL, but I got spoiled last year.
On the plus side, my plane last night did have the new domestic EC seats installed, which of course I didn't think of until I boarded, so I was stuck in a regular seat. Anyone know when they're officially rolling that product out? And it will be on all two-class aircraft, correct? I will definitely be selecting seats at the front of the coach cabin from now on, as I actually like to be able to see my computer screen and type without contorting like a gymnast when I work on a plane.
Happy Friday all!

I give the majority of my business to Delta because I happen to live in a hub city and prefer their FF program over the others. And yes I like being upgraded All I was saying is that I've been doing a piss poor job of selecting flights that will give me a decent shot of riding up front.
