Removing me from C+ was the Twitter agent's solution, saying I wasn't eligible to sit in C+, even though I had received the upgrade while I had status. SIN determined that the Twitter agent was wrong to remove me from the C+ seat, as I was eligible for the upgrade at the time I received it.
You were eligible at the time the upgrade process ran and you were upgraded. However you were no longer eligible when the process had to be re-run for whatever reason because of OLCI issues. Ticketing issue, reservation issue, whatever. At that point the process needed to be run again and you no longer qualified. It's great they gave it to you, but you were in no way eligible for it.
