Slip Him a 20 for an Upgrade on a Flight: Will That Work?
That is the $20 trick on airlines about which FlyerTalk member BDA shorts is referring.
This trick apparently works in hotels, as evidenced by the Does the $20 Vegas bribe work? thread, for example. However, will gratuitously giving an airline employee $20 to secure an upgrade work on airlines? Is it considered a tip or a bribe?

I hope it does not work, upgrade travel should be earned not bribed.
