To your point about seats up front -- even as a Platinum member there are way too many Diamonds (125k+ flyers) scooping up the upgrades. The only benefit of "Status" is their hotline, which is awesome in times of need for rebooking due to cancelations or my personal schedule changes -- oh ya, with Status they waive the rebook fee too.

Right, the flexibility and priority rebooking is the biggest benefit. Or, when I take my wife on a business trip to Hawaii or Phoenix I can book us first-class straight through for free (well, i think you have to pay $10 for taxes or something). The penalty for the free flight is 100 nights away from home and countless frustrations
Oh well, for those of you will flexible schedules and no deadlines, please continue to take the bumps
I'd gladly pay an EXTRA $200 to get home on time.
