PN is also 1

So the instruments carry through right to the gate? The gate standby priority published doesn’t seem to mention RPUs so wasn’t sure if they retained validity right through to the end.

I thought maybe that they were higher than us due to fare class for the gate standby list rather than use of instruments but guess that’s not the case.
