Where in the original post do you see anything about upgrade? This was just to get on the plane. Once they cleared standby, which they and 2 others did, then they could get on the upgrade but in the OP there is no mention of upgrade lists.
Or are you just asking in general? And the answer is you can't, you have to clear the standby list first then you can get on the upgrade list.
