Getting bumped or a double upgrade to Int'l First (PIT-FRA)?
Situation is this: I fly PIT-FRA on Monday. Flight is showing quite full in the back (2 Y/B/M seats, no seats can be assigned). F has 4 seats available and J/C has 7 with 6 seats unassigned.
Booked in O class (Envoy class on upgrade from e-saver). What is the chance that they'll require extra seats and would bump me to F? I presume the full-fare Envoy pax would get first crack?
What about volunteering to get bumped if there is a request? I am in no rush to get to FRA.

If you get bumped and stuck in PIT, leave a holler. I'd be happy to come out to the airport and meet and greet. 
Good luck and best wishes -- I hear US's inventory control (ie seat) is pretty good so I doubt you'll get the lucky bump to first -- especially since there are probably some paying passengers not to mention Chairman Preferred's and people who paid a lot more than you for the flight.

terenz: I doubt you'll get a double upgrade to FC. 
If you do get bumped and end up flying the next day or on another flight, I'd try and get them to put you in Envoy on the the other flight without giving them your systemwide upgrade certificate. In addition to whatever compensation you get for the bump, retaining the systemwides for future flights could be a major bonus...
Regardless, enjoy your trip.
