If so, am I on the list as a PLT flyer or on the bottom of the list with no status?
I still had some benefits when traveling after my elite status expired in March such as access to the lounge and priority security line acess on a flight to another continent, but then didn't get the 100% bonus miles so I am unsure how the benefits work for flights booked before losing the status in regards to upgrades.
You are not entitled to any benefits on flights after your status expires. Any benefit you get is an error. While you might be able to use your boarding pass for Plt privileges, you are not entitled to them. So, yes,if you BP says PLT, it is possible you might get upgraded based on that status, even though you are not entitled.
