Same day changes question
Yesterday, I (a PM) had a flight from PBI to ATL and back on the same day. I woke up early and using the 3 hour stand by rule changed my flight from 7:00am where I was already upgraded to FC, to the 5:30am. When I asked to be upgraded, but she said that since it was within 3 hours, it was in gate control and she could not do that. I could swear that I have made flight changes within the 3 hour window and got upgrades, or is my mind just trying to remember good times that never existed?
