AND
Nominees are cleared after status passengers EVEN if the nominees have their own status!
This could explain the issue noted above where an SE is trumped by a no status passenger. If the SE was nominated by an E50, a no status passenger nominiated by an SE will actually get it before the SE.
I confirmed this with the concierges, and experimentally.
