They are listed that way but IME they don't clear that way. Many times when traveling with my wife (lowly PM) we are listed on the gate upgrade list separately but in nearly all cases the GA pages me to the podium and asks if I want to split the record so that I can clear the upgrade or if we stay together we won't upgrade. In the few cases when I have not been asked this, the GA just skips me on the list and I ride in Y with her.
