Im sliver medallion. Delta acknowledges me well. More then 50%+ of the time I'm upgraded to first class.

I'm guessing you all missed the recent press release about FOs being converted to AA's Aadvantage program. Delta has apparently decided to donate them to AA and open up more spots on the "not gonna get an upgrade" list to more GMs and PMs.

But on the way back, I have a decent shot. My last 2 trips this month I was upgraded on the way back and it was done before I ever even got to the airport. I just see it on the app.

But my brother is a DM and since he's a consultant, he's on the consultant heavy routes and he's usually 20th or 30th on the list. So I think it is route dependent; but if you're silver, you're probably not going to get upgraded on any route where people would actually go to voluntarily. Although I did get upgraded once from PBI to ATL.
