What I was wondering though is if I hadn't been proactive I assume that I would have probably been stuck in the back. CPU runs at the windows to clear into R but if PN opens up before the windows do you have to manually watch it and your left on your own to process the upgrade? In theory what could have happened is I could have lost out to someone with higher status clearing at their window or whenever CPU runs?
Instant Upgrade do not clear automatically as a past of CPU processing, they need to be manually requested.

However they should be a part of the gate upgrade process.

BTW "IAHDENIAD" is very hard to read, spaces, hyphens, colons, .... between cities improve readability
