GM, waitlisted by 1K's RPU

I interpret the wiki as saying that the GMs would be ahead of all status holding passengers that are NOT using an instrument/MUA/instant upgrade fare, but behind other passengers using instruments/MUA. Is this correct and does this hold true all the way to departure time?

Ahead of all CPUs, behind everyone else - except any GMers with lower fare classes looking for instrument/mileage upgrades (or GMers w/ same fare class who purchased later)
