now the fifth factor --
Effective August 14, 2018, upgrade waitlists are processed in the following priority order:
  1. Premier status of the traveler
  2. Fare class
  3. Chase United MileagePlus Club cardholder
  4. United Corporate Preferred participant
  5. Time of request

agree it is doubtful there be other B folks on the list, so fare class will preempt the need for the other factors.
