To the OPs original question. If you want a shot at an UG, you will need to have delta split someone out of your reservation. I'd say as of now, your UG looks good but your flight is still 2 1/2 weeks away so that can change in an instant. As a former FO who just became a GM after my last flight, those saying that an FO UG is impossible is not 100% accurate. Sure UG's for FO's are rare but the OPs situation is actually a case where an UG for an FO would happen on a elite-lite route and on a holiday. By no means is this an elite lite route but I received a window UG on ATL-DCA as a FO the Saturday after July 4th and flew it the week before with 65 PAX on the UG list.
