First flight of the year! Cleared C+ on RDU-MSP and MSP-MKE. I decided 6AM was too early and SDC'd into a comp FC upgrade on RDU-MSP with lunch! 
7 of 11 for 2 on MSP-MKE.
FC: 1 of 2
C+: 2 of 2

Cleared C+ on LAX-RDU and already got my RDU-LAX cleared 2 weeks in advance. can't clear into FC. somehow I keep getting bumped down the list even when my ticket is Y.

3 for 3 this year.
Flew from DTW to MSP yesterday. Called and did a SDC to a later flight and was immediately 2 of 36 for the upgrade with 6 spots open. I opened the seat map and it was an A330. That was interesting. It was a very comfortable hour and 15 minute ride.

Am I seeing correctly that you're PM on Delta? Full Y fares no longer get top upgrade priority regardless of status, so you would be below all DMs (but above other PMs). Like others have said as well, instrument upgrades would trump either of the aforementioned passenger types.

IRROPS Priority?
Had a canceled flight ex-MSP. Rebooked(through app) for next morning through ATL and cleared FC for MSP-ATL immediately. Not a route/time I would expect an upgrade as a GM and the list was pretty long. Is there a rule that you move up the list if affected by IRROPs or was I just lucky to clear?

it would be really nice to know these things. just because I like to know. specially when there were 4 seats open, then suddenly its 2 and your top of list. then an hour before the delayed flight you get bumped and the second open seat is gone. lol
Also yesterday Sunday, I was confirmed for FC on my RDU-LAX flight on Saturday.
