3. Does the companion have to have AAdvantage number to be upgraded in my reservation (i.e. can the companion use Alaska number (to earn AS miles because the companion has status with AS) in the reservation without affecting our upgrade chance)??
I can't imagine how you can still keep your upgrade if you change it to Alaska. I believe your status determines your companion's status also. And I think your companion can use Alaska number.
