How good are my upgrade- or bump-chances?
As KL Gold I am flying domestically on NW next week and wonder how chances for an upgrade or bumps for a gold are. I know that KL-Gold officially are not entitled to free domestic upgrades, but experience from others shows that they are usually treated the same as NW-Golds in this regard. So I took a look at the seatmaps and found the following information:
1st flight: DTW-PHL late night: 3 Premium seats (rest of coach pretty open) and no seats in F taken, flight shows P9 F9 Y9 B9 M9 H9 Q9 V9 L9 T9 K9
2nd flight: PHL-DTW midday on a friday: all seats taken in Y except 4 Exit-seats and F has three assigned seats, flight shows P9 F9 Y7 B6 M3 H1 Q1 V0 L0 T0 K0
3rd flight: DTW-JFK afternoon on a friday: all seats taken in Y except premium-seats (only three of them) and F has two seats taken, flight shows P8 F8 Y4 B3 M2 H2 Q1 V1 L1 T0 K0
So anyone want to speculate a bit on these flights and my chances (bump preferred as First probably won't be a that big improvement over my coach-seats for ~90 minutes flights)... I'd love to take a bump on my return as my options are pretty unlimited to get home without any delay involved...

Look's Excellent for first two flights - 3rd Iffy
You should be fine on the first two segments. The third segment may be difficult due to Friday "Road Warrior" Elites returning home after a week on the road.
Let us know how many upgrades clear.

As you asked for a feedback: I yesterday got the upgrade DTW-PHL on NW1774. Flight load was very light, however, five people in F and less than half full in the back...
Friday's flights will be more challenging, I suppose...
