GUC Struggles (Delta Agents)

within 1 hr of departure I see my ex NRT flights go from
# 1 of 4 seats remaining
#1 of 3 seats remaining
#1 of 2 seats remaining
#1 of 1 seat remaining
#1 of 0 seats remaining

I wondered how passengers were skipping ahead of me on my GUC as a Diamond member

When I boarded I noticed 1 empty business seat and asked the Gate Agent to clear me into the empty seat

Did you report these incidents to Delta? What was their reply?

He didn't report it because it didn't happen

LOL. So true! If a GA said that with me to a straight face - I would ask them for a RedCoat/OSM/Station Manager and see if they will repeat that line, also with a straight face, to said management.

Any DM would be insane to fly as much as we do, hear that a basically free ticket is ahead of a paying customer with an UG instrument, and not escalate it before a 10+ hour flight to get it taken care of right then and there at the gate.

Interesting when airlines value those flying for free over those who paid in the first place...

Did you ask where those 4 seats went? If yes, what was their reply?

Last year, I had my flights LAX-NRT-MNL clear with a GUC a few days before. Last year, I had my flight LAX-SYD clear about 5 days before on a GUC. It did show duplicate flight for Delta One, but no seat assigned. The fact that I got my upgrades makes me thinks that the way it is supposed to work.
