Note that the category of revenue passengers basically includes any passenger who is not traveling as a nonrev (including must fly or positive space nonrevs). In particular, someone flying on an award ticket (purchased with miles, for example) would be considered to be a revenue passenger. A first class passenger might not exclude those with confirmed upgrades or someone who already has a first class seat assignment, rather than only those having first class tickets (purchased using either money or miles).
