I'm pretty sure that one'e been noted before. Don't worry though, here's the whole deal on upgrades:
At the airport, GS, Y, (sorted by status, 1K-Silver), B (sorted by status, 1K-silver), M (1K only), paid upgrades (GPU/RPU, miles...; sorted by status, fare, and date of waitlist), 1K (sorted by fare), Plat (sorted by fare), Gold (sorted by fare), Silver (sorted by fare)

- New CPU hierarchy. Our CPU/airport standby upgrade hierarchy will be as follows:
- Global Services
- Y/B/M instant upgrades that weren’t confirmed in advance (sorted by fare class then premier tier)
- Paid upgrades (i.e. GPUs, RPUs and mileage upgrades) sorted by status, fare class, and date of waitlist
- All remaining premier customers by status, then fare class
- Companion CPUs for all Premiers. Premiers at all levels will be able to extend their CPUs to one travel companion in the same reservation, including in the advance clearance window and with Y/B/M instant upgrades. This will happen automatically when the Premier reservation includes a single companion. In cases where there are more than two people in the reservation, or where the companion is in a separate reservation, the companion upgrade may be designated at the airport.
