Doubtfull they would charge APD. I suspect they would treat it as an operational upgrade?
I flew AA105 last week. Flight was oversold and they upgraded nearly the entire PE cabin to business at the gate, including my family (Plat + 2 Golds). I suspect upgrades to PE were handled at the gate based on status. It was the captains retirement flight so we were welcomed by the firetrucks at JFK. What luck!
