A CO gate agent had to divide the record so that EUA would work. Should I divide the record to avoid this kind of a problem, or is NW programmed differently so that it won't be necessary? Can anyone address this from personal experience in the same situation?

EUA will work fine, but only in the window for silvers. Lowest common denominator. If there's only one seat, NEITHER of you will get it. It's all or nothing. That said, divide the record so the CO Gold has a chance 3 days out.
