Qualified for 2015 Diamond, and have not received one upgrade
 
Interesting first. Qualified for Diamond in 2015, and yet so far in 2014 I have not received one upgrade. I sense this is the future for many of us.

Good grief I have only qualified for FO in 2015 and should make Gold in the next 2 weeks. I have had 19 flights in F so far this year. It has to be the routes you are travelling.

My upgrade percentage is down substantially as well, even on off-days and routes that were once sure things. FCM has really decimated one of the biggest benefits of status.

Is that 4-5 paid J TATLs and a few domestic connections to ATL?

I'm in the same boat. Only PM this year but UGs are down slightly. Most noticeably on the late evening ATL-SFO flight I am usually on. Have now had to burn 2 RUCs to get up front and sat in back once out of 4 flights. Used to be nearly guaranteed up front as a GM on this route. It's a long flight that I definitely appreciated the UG on, and one factor that made DL more appealing than UA out of SFO. SFO-DTW on the 767 has been packed the two times I've taken it this year, more so than last 2 years.

Is this really news for anyone? I said it would be this way like 2 years ago.

I have not gotten an upgrade since I dropped to PM Kind of what I expected

supergriff34 Apr 11, 2014 4:43 pm

Im flown 17 flights this year as a FO been upgraded 11 times.
What routes do you fly?

xliioper Apr 11, 2014 4:52 pm

Kind of meaningless. What was OP's status before hitting Diamond? How many upgradeable flights has OP been on.

RacingJunkie Apr 11, 2014 5:04 pm

I'm 100% as a GM.

69,152 rollover MQMs tells you the answer to that one. Only DMs can accumulate that much rollover.

Holy cow with that kind of MQD spend? I have not been keeping track but must be above 90% on some 40 segments and MQD spend is just over $2000!:o

Having requalified for DM for 2015 should have no affect on upgrades this year.

I think OP knows that, and it's more of an observation of how tough upgrades have become. Like "Hey, I've flown XX,XXX MQMs this year and haven't gotten a single upgrade yet."

Denal1 Apr 11, 2014 5:53 pm

WOW! If OP is complaining about lack of complimentary upgrades then he/she is flying domestic coach at $24,000 for 15 segs. He/She should buy first and pocket the other $17,000 :p:p:p Seriously, do these numbers add up..I seem to be missing something. 15 segs domestic for 64,000 MQMs and not at the top of upgrade list or already in first?
