    Not sure if fare class of companion matters to bump above other PM
    Do a DM and PM on T fare bump above PM on B?
    Or does a DM + PM only come above PM with T but below PM on L fare?

Full Credit to Evan! for the list see link above.
He probably knows more about the companion story.
Is everyone really sure that a DM on an L fare beats a PM on M fare. I know that there is speculation about that but is that confirmed by someone at Delta. The delta website only states that "Diamonds traveling on discounted fares will clear before Platinums traveling on discounted fares" at the five day window. I wonder if this means that the order of clearing might be:
DM B
PM B
DM M
PM M
DM H
PM H
etc.
Rather than what its above which suggests that all DMs clear before PMs. just curious.
