you read it wrong then.

While I may interpret the text as wrong, this is how it reads.

Care to answer any of the questions I brought up in my misunderstanding of the text?

Upgrades are at 12 and 24 hours if available.
So are advance purchase windows.

... but all those are out the window if someone buys full fare up to 2 hours before the flight?

grt2106 - unfortunately, no matter how it receives, your above description seems to indicate reality. :td:

She told me that even though I had both confirmation of my elevate silver card and forwarded that to her, as well as my elevate silver status email, she still stated that there was absolutely nothing her and her supervisor could do about a flight tomorrow, and that I absolutely wouldn't be placed on the upgrade list.

My experience was similar to this. I have been told it would take a vague "several weeks" to fix and they could do nothing about it.

W T F is up with their piss poor customer service. I'd rather travel as a platinum on American than silver on Virgin if they can't get their shet together.

My sentiments/sympathies exactly. Been through a similar experience like this before with customer service, but at that time, it had to do with their transition to their new reservations system and compatibility issues with their website. Near FT Hall of Fame... :eek:
