My feeling is that upgrades are system-processed ex-AMS (for KL) and ex-CDG (for AF) but I think most outstations operate their own rules. I very very much doubt it is discretion of the GA though, pretty certain it is discretion of the station manager instead. GAs would have the 'physical' power to overrule anything at the gate but would undoubtedly need to justify any decision they make to the station manager and if they chose to go against the rules without having cleared it first I'm 99.99999% certain that they will be in huge trouble.
