Perhaps they used instruments? SXM isn't an elite-heavy flight, but it sure is a honeymoon/major vacation destination, where people will pay for upgrades.

What number were you on the u/g list?
I was standby on a mileage upgrade. I was informed that if it doesn't clear before T-24 it is automatically redeposited and the only upgrades at gate would be complementary elite?

To add it was the southbound EWR-SXM flight.
