Further, travel companions will continue to get the benefit of GS status, so even if it were true, it would not apply in this case.
Hopefully some good news for GS upgrades. I applied 2x GPUs from a GS account to a Gold traveler's PNR yesterday. The GS Rep told me at the time that there were 0 GS's on the waitlist (all had cleared) but that there were 6 1K's on the waitlist. At the time there were 15 open seats.
At ~6:37am PST I received the Waitlist Notification email that the upgrades had been confirmed. I logged on to see that it did indeed confirm into PN and that there were now 13 seats left (so none of the 1K's had cleared). While it was only ~6.5hrs into the 4/15 change, it seems promising to me.
