9W Op-ups
Does 9W generally do op-ups when there is overbooking in lower classes? Do they routinely overbook on the assumption that they can op-up some people?
For example, for a JP Gold member, are there any chances of op-up from, say J to F, on the BOM-LHR route?
Or does this never happen?

Yes, as Plat one is op-upped, but 9wGold is a different story...however, apart from this there is very little difference between the 2 levels, imo and experience.

And it would probably take me atleast 3 months to regain Plat. Let's see what my time as a goldmember ends up like.

have only got an op-up once on 9w....& it was a great one....was flying back to delhi from jfk & their business was full....not only did they put me in first but they put my wife in first as well....i didn't even have to say anything....i got to the counter & they said they had upgraded my wife (no 9w status) & me (plat) to first....this was last year in the summer, just before they dropped first class on that route....
