Probably more a function of the time of day you are traveling. If you can travel non-peak hours upgrades are easy to come by. However, Delta has a stated goal that almost everyone in first will be a paying customer. They would like to do away with complimentary upgrades.

I’m in 35C this morning. Case closed.

However if you booked last minute on a full flight you'd probably be screwed out of a C+ upgrade as well.

75 people on the upgrade list this morning. I attempted a RUC as Platinum and number 19 on the list. Absurd

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

Is this okay?
