The priority order is by status, then fare class. So, in theory a 75K on an R fare (lowest revenue bucket) would get upgraded before an MVPG on even a Y fare.

I would recommend closely monitoring U space especially in the 7-14 days before the flight...and if you see it, but don't get upgraded automatically, call in and ask them to push it thru.
