I'm newly minted Medallion Silver (Lucky me?) I'm flying on DL 3586 Saturday, which shows 6 FC seats available. When I checked in on the on-line app, it said, "This Flight not eligible for upgrade" or something to that effect. I'm traveling with my spouse who has no status, so wondering if that's the reason?

Man, I don't get this. If I saw myself from 1-6 with 6 open seats there's no way I would board without an explanation from the GA. Heck, I check with them when I am 1 or 2 for 0 seats. Can't believe there were 6 people that just didn't care to raise an argument! But good for them. The big seat is the WHOLE reason I chase DM (not to downplay the other bennies).

Return SMF-SEA,3 remainkng seats went to NRSA and 1 stayed empty
The empty seat was a saver because my tray table was inop (and it was sealed, so DL was aware and still assigned the seat). The tray table on empty seat was also broken but serviceable with a pillow supporting it suggested by FA..... I noticed half of tray tables on this E175 were bended in the middle and could not stay locked. Is this a common problmp?

Update: SEA-SFO this weekend, 2 remaining F seats went to NRSA. The lady next to me was captains friend and clearly got superior service. Sigh.

Was it a SkyWest aircraft? IMO they're in bad shape with lots of procrastination on repairs. I was on one where the FC lavatory seemed to be permanently sealed as inoperable.
If there were elites on the upgrade list, you should report the GA's failure to process upgrades to DL.

Nope, zero upgrade list on both flights. Number of Y pax was moved to C+ for weight balance. Both flights were about 2/3 full in Y.

+1. A SM# must be attached to companions reservation for a companion upgrade via the automated system . Agents can handle at gate othereisr, but you lose out on window upgrades.
