I'm a platinum on Delta in Atlanta and the only upgrades to first I've gotten in the last 4 years were a pair of CRJ flights, one to Baton Rouge and one from LAX to Vegas. I did get upgraded the year before COVID on Spring Break to Steamboat, but I gave it to my wife and sat in the back with the kids. The last time I saw a list under 40 or so was 10+ years ago. I just flew back from Bozeman and there were 50+ on the list.
