I think "OK" status means that EVERYONE that has an "OK" status is "in the same boat"... That is, one person's "OK" isn't better than someone else's "OK" status, regardless of fare paid, class, elite level etc. </font>
See the post right above yours.
You can be confirmed "OK" on an AA flight which runs perfectly, and AA will deny boarding to you if that's what it takes to get an EXP member on the flight.
Clearly, "OK" doesn't mean what you think it means.
