No, PMUA did that PMCO & new UA do not go to actual status at T-24.
My Silver wife is typically listed before me (GS) when I use GPU (or previously SWU on PMCO). In fact on domestic travel if I waitlist with an RPU it will actually lower my position (from GS to Insturment supported).
Also it has been mentioned that ALL fliers on the list would be 1K or GS as those are the only ones who have GPU's. That is not entirely correct, as lower elites or Kettles can use miles & copay to upgrade.
I have been told that on international time of waitlist trumps fare paid, does anyone know if that is true?
