After checkin closes, the upgrade list as displayed on the United app/mobile.united.com is used by the GA to manually process all remaining upgrades.
What do you mean by manual? Do GA's have the autonomy to give the upgrade to a lower elite tier?
For example I'm number 1 out of 15 on the upgrade list with 8/12 F seats booked and 3 checked in. Could they give it to a 1P over me?
