I've not had a lot of experience with the Pres Plus CC upgrades, but assume he benefits from my status and that he got upgraded over me because I booked his ticket (shortly) before mine?

Still, seems odd that a no-status companion would get the upgrade over the cardholder. Yah, I dont mind sitting in coach...maybe he'll sneak me a drink...
The companion glitch has been around for a while (booking a reservation for someone else and them carrying your benefits), so in CO's eyes you are both treated equally. Which reservation did you book first?
