Should the OP have been first on the waitlist with a PR-1 ahead of him?

For clarity, you we're on a discount full-fare ticket. A full fare ticket would have been Y not B. Either way it wouldn't have mattered...someone who paid for first, be it with cash or miles, would have priority over any complimentary upgrade.
