She was upped at the gate, so I guess an up-op rather than birthday/ mileage upgrade.

How can that be? What type of scenario would allow this?

Anecdotal, but within some of my friends / circles, we've been seeing SLs getting upgraded the most. I'm not surprised that this is happening.

In fact our opup order posted here has been erroneous for a while already; SLs get upgraded ahead of EMER/SAPH, this was clarified by a ground staff agent working for CX on another forum.
