Only within the booking class HON has priority over SEN over the the rest of the crowd.
I am aware of their new policy and understand it, which is why I was questioning the absence of ANY HON/SEN/* GOLD on the J fare? There are 98 seats in C on the A380. Do you mean to tell me there were no status passengers booked on a J fare? Or are you saying that * Golds are considered in the same manner as non-status passengers for Op Ups within the same fare class (J in this instance)?
