First Class Upgrade for thre silvers
What do you think are chances of upgrade to first for three passengers on DCA-DTW sector for midmorning flight when the avilability 24 hours before shows P7 F0?

It depends on everybodys status
usually if there is no F then no you wont be auto upgraded and dont even bother calling as res wont be able to upgrade unless F is available and all members are elite.
also no need to call res when doing a elite upgrade as the system automatically upgrades all elite members as long as everyone in the record is elite. if no F available it will automaticaly put you on the standby list!
hope that helped

In my DCA experience, it depends more on the day of the week. Monday and Friday's 9:25a, your chances are pretty low. But the 11:00a mid-morning DCA->DTW is a pretty good bet for Silvers.
If you've got the option to connect through MEM instead, you'll find much better chances. Not once have I ever sat in the back on a DCA->MEM flight, and the travel times are similar if you're connecting.

One never knows if a Plat will add a companion to the list, that will reduce your chances, unless your upgrades come through at the Silver window.
