Y fare. The agent, a Chisolm agent, insisted, however that if "I" became available, I would be moved up.

So, my question isn't really about where I would stand as an FO on a Y fare. I understand that.

What was new to me was what the agent said. That this is an "I" but since "I" isn't available, I am in "Y" on those legs.

So, assuming the agent is correct, does that actually put me a little higher up in the pecking order so that I'd actually have priority over pax on "Y" fares?

She actually suggested that I speak to the gate agent and see if they would clear me if/when things go to the gate for upgrades.

Thanks.

edited to add: Another tidbit...she moved me into first for the return domestic leg and it is listed as "P" not RU or whatever the upgrade class is. The fare basis for the return is actually ZNW28ENQ.
