I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I feel if UA overbooks and screws up, it's perfectly fine to put him on another flight and jump the upgrade queue. THis has happened on VDB's as well - take a VDB, and get rebooked into Y to clear an upgrade. Or get booked into C/F. If you're doing UA a favor and they offer to book you into C as part of your VDB comp, then let them. the person #1 on the upgrade list isn't entitled to anything.
