I side with those who think something is still not right with the CPU process. Flying ORD-SFO last week with jchiguy1partner; same PNR, status (1K), fare class (tix bought together) and we both have exactly the same PQM this year. I went to check us in at T-24 and somehow I got upgraded while he remained on the wait list (which split the PNR). Got to ORD, headed to the gate and he appeared at number two on the upgrade screen. He went up to the agent at T-45 min to inquire about his chances and lo and behold she handed him a new FC boarding pass. I'm still not sure exactly how all that happened.
