Cleared 3/19 immediately after manual upgrade request was put in by 1K desk
Aircraft: 777
Booking code: Y
Agree with an earlier poster who said that failure data would be more useful, but unfortunately, the vast majority of those failures will be from elites who have never heard of FT. Appreciate the effort, though. The data is still interesting, if not scientific ^

When Cleared: 100 hours (initially booked with e500 upgrade request)
Booking Code: U
With ~20 hours remaining before flight, F cabin has only 3/6 seats allocated. Either no one checks in early, or no one with status flies to BOI (which in the past wasn't the case, but I haven't flown the route in ~9 mo). :-)

Technical Fail?
Probably shouldn't classify this as a fail, but what do you all think?

3/22/10 SFO-SAN 6:00a
Cleared: 3/20 1 day after manual upgrade request put in by 1K desk
Aircraft: A320
Booking code: Y
Chicken prints up F BP, but at gate, board shows an A320 to A319 swap. Of course, I was in row 3, so now I am back in Y. F checked in full. Oh well, it's a short segment that I never would have bothered upgrading in the past, but still stings holding an F BP and riding in back!
Incidentally, after the DG, I went to customer service and got put back on the waitlist. Ended up #1 of 11. GA told me all 4 of us in row 3 were 1K. I asked to be switched to an exit row.
