If you're on the same PNR, you are supposed to get the same zone number.

But then I still think the solution is to have 3 zones.

1: SE+J (same as today)
2: Elite+PY+Latitude+Credit Cards (same as today)
3: Everyone else

You eliminate most of the issues while still giving priority to those who have paid for it.
