Well, there are 2 answers from 2 different camps. Short answer is, as of late upgrades are not rare. But they were rare for awhile during the tumultuous times when Us Air came to the party and started hammering us for pay cuts and the resulting contract war/massive shrinking. So most of us are excited that the upgrade has dropped like a rock from 8ish years to now 3 years in a relatively short amount of time over the last few months. And we'll be at 2ish years later this year. So it's definitely nice to see this after years of beatings. Now, on the flip side we have lots of company salesmen (management types) on this and other forums that love to make a lot of loud noise about any type of positive news, such as starting a new thread about the latest vacancy. The over the top, blatant salesmen posts have seemingly decreased in frequency over the last few months but they still pop up from time to time.
