I've noticed some flakiness as to who is cleared on the big board versus the mobile app. Minor differences, especially with the number of folks who have already cleared.

Regardless, the data I posted may give folks some idea where they would end up. Doesn't have to be exact exact.

Where did you end up on the Final Upgrade List, UA Domestic?
 

I read some cases on here where they get upgraded... And then later on after boarding they get downgraded back to coach.. Why does that happen? (or how?) my question is more on the technical side of it -- computer upgrades X number of elites in the waitlist, F-cabin checks-in full, then what happens that triggers a downgrade???

My last flight for some reason we weren't on the upgrade list. Was this a glitch in Shares or did I upset a phone agent? No one can say at this point.

NO DICE on any above. The saddest story was route 3, MEX-IAH. I was #4 on the List with 6 FC seats avaiable 2 hours prior to the flight. I ended up in coach and #2 on the final list. Pretty sure I was TODed out of the running. Oh well.

someone should make a mobile interface for udustats so it's easier to enter. is anyone maintaining/developing it still? going mobile i feel like would be a cool addition.

17th as a 1K on the upgrade list; has any 1K been lower?
 

I've complained in the recent past about how upgrades are much harder now for top UA elites, but I have a domestic A320 flight tomorrow to IAH where, as a 1K, I'm 17th on the waitlist for an upgrade. Admittedly, I'm in a cheapo bucket, but 17th? Has any 1K ever been lower?

BTW, the upgrade list is currently 48 names long!

I thought perhaps that it might be some computer glitch assigning me lower status, but I'm taking a connecting flight where I'm #2 on the upgrade list (I probably won't get that one either, but at least it's plausible).

I know Thursdays are big elite travel days, but isn't this a bit crazy? I can't imagine many folks thinking the loyalty was worth it if these are your upgrade odds. It would seem wise to me for UA to go AA's route and at least give 1K's a free meal and alcoholic drink in coach, because that's where they're going to be a lot of the time.

I was 27th one time on an evening DEN-SFO 757 flight. Sitting at exit row with numerous GS around me. That was the craziest for me.

Fly IAD-BOS occassionally on cheapo buckets on Thursday afternoons and regularly have found myself anywhere from 10th-25th on that list....

I find myself between 10 and 30 on a regular basis- lots of EWR-IAH flights.

Try 32nd on IAD-SFO last year or 11th using a RPU on SFO-EWR. Both were on A320

IAD->SFO on a 777-200 domestic config
I was 43rd as a 1k on a W fare
the list was over 120 names

17th as a 1K on the upgrade list; has any 1K been lower?
 

Wow. If it makes you feel better I've been on a Y or B fare as a GS this year, middle seats, and at least twice not cleared on TPACs.
