Are you sure you want to claim being "higher" than the rest; or just more important . . .
To the OP: easy way to answer the question who is more important: can the plane leave the gate w/o an elite pax on board? Yes. Can the plane leave the gate w/o the pilot? No. To my mind that pretty much answers the question.
As for who is "higher": my guess would be the dude sitting in 24B wearing the Bob Marley T-Shirt
