Yup...it was gone last night. It could be a IT glitch, but also very possibly could be another great "enhancement" where Delta as removed a useful feature like when the took away the ability to see Upgrade Available with in the Medallion window when searching domestic flights a few years back.

FWIW, I saw it yesterday around 9:30pm ET. Debated doing SDC as there was on RUC seat available on an earlier flight, but was worried that in the 45 minute hold time for an agent it could disappear, and there weren't any good Y/C+ seats.
RUCs for flights with "First Class" seems to map to Z inventory, which you can see in the search results grid, although if there are no Z fares meeting the A/P requirements depending on your flight date, then you'd have to use something like ExpertFlyer.
Not sure exactly how anything to DeltaOne works for either RUC or GUC.

Out of curiosity, do a lot of you here sign up for something like ExpertFlyer to monitor a specific flight to see if there is GUC/RUC availability, or are you more likely to go exploring on the Delta website to see when you could immediately book and use a GUC/RUC?
