i have a couple of reservations with RPUs waitlisted where two travelers are being waitlisted together on one PNR. i am starting to think they will not clear together, so considering using the "separate travelers" function to give a better chance for at least one to clear.

1) what order would they clear in? both are in the same fare class with the same RPU status.

2) in all cases, RPUs are sponsored from accounts of others (not myself). will this separate travelers function interrupt the waitlisting of these RPUs such that i need to contact the sponsors to have them reapplied?
