Same as A2A... it's the beginning of the end for our family with 9W. Either way, good to see that they're starting to do something for the (at least currently) loyal customers.

Maybe your father was the politest one at EWR - that's why they gave it to him...
I know the EWR staff well (not that I fly them very much), and they usually follow protocol, but as humans they might have reacted to pains in the a** who might have been demanding/insisting on the upgrade.

I guess this could be the reason. I detest the folks who hound the check-in/gate-staff for the upgrades.
Personally, I should admit that I've done it once (not hounding - just persistency), and that was just because I had already gotten the confirmation email from JP multiple days in advance, so I found it ridiculous that they weren't going to honor the email. After all, the miles were being taken from the account as well. Either way, a few persistent (but polite) requests to the check-in agent, station manager, and gate staff went a long way!
