The agent insisted RPU/CR1 upgrade waitlisted as ON (vs. R) is ok, even though it's a 2-class PMUA aircraft. I hope he's right and folks on CPU aren't clearing ahead of me (it's currently R/RN0 so doubt it)! Thought about yanking the RPU/CR1 given it's within 96 hr window but thought I'd test if instrument sponsored upgrades get priority now.
Still waiting for EUA on a different R/RN9 segment to clear... come on it's << 96 hours now!
When I called regarding my HNL-ORD upgrade using RPU for 3/7, which was also listed as ON, the agent said it was wrong and he changed it to R. I was upgraded instantly. I think I recall Shannon noting that the ON was incorrect for the 2-cabin aircraft also and that they were working on it, but I didn't want to wait it out! Sounds like there is still some confusion out there.
