I've also been wondering what's going on with the trickle upgrading. We're not much better off on the FO side in the junior domiciles though. MSP had 0 FO reserve lines for June and IAH has 7.

It's kind of a Catch 22. Staffing may be part of the reason they can't upgrade, but if they don't pick up the pace no one will want to come here with an 8+ year upgrade.
