It sounds like you were sitting next to Darth Chocolate

Granted this was before the changes to upgrade priority last spring, so it's possible something changed then, but the best evidence I've seen points to 360s not getting higher priority than regular Diamonds: my 360 friend and I (a regular DM) were both traveling on the same flight with Q fares, but I had booked before him and I was ahead of him on the upgrade list.
