There are two systems in play and it gets confusing/very complicated as they both work simultaneously. It's also a debate at whether you should OLCI at the 24 hour mark or not (there's a thread here somewhere on FT about it).
That battlefield list (the list that you see at the gate) isn't what you necessarily want to go off from as a #3 can get confirmed before #1 because of the other system.
Best just to add him as a companion at the gate (if he hasn't upgraded yet) and hope for the best (as it is better than his status). Thinking about it too much might give you a headache.

(it always gives me one)
