I had an interesting experience recently. Wanted to book an SE and E75K on SFO-YYZ, but there was only one seat available, even with IKK.
Obviously booked the E75K, as my gate priority would be higher.
I was below all the eUpgrading SEs, but above everyone with lower status.
This matches a few other experiences I've seen recently with other people.
It seems the priority has changed once again. It's still cabin/status/fare class, but X is now the bottom.
I tried to get more information on this, but was only told nothing should have changed from the last time I did this, when I was above everyone of my status with an eUpgrade.
