Domestically maybe, but I can count on two hands now how many times I have been in First, not Business Class but First class on the Sydney runs over the past 3 years. I have to say it is a bummer the upgrade list for domestic first is always massive, but as long as this is not happening on international flights every single day then I would think that is something to be happy about.
