Had multiple instances where a Platinum colleague of mine has been upgraded ahead of me (1K) on the CPU list (pre 24 hrs). Anyone know why this might keep happening? My understanding was that CPUs were prioritized by status and then fare class. My one thought was that he’s a cellist and always buys a seat for his cello so maybe if PZ=2, and he’s the highest status flyer with two travellers on his itinerary, he is automatically upgraded ahead of people on a single ticket itinerary somehow? I’m at a bit of a loss here.

Thanks for any tips!
