She also said that "EVIP upgrades" get released first, then miles & co-pay, and finally BXP1. This seems wrong to me since mi+copay/SWU/BXP1 all come out of the C bucket, but she was very insistent on it.

Should I remove myself from one of the two lists, or can I stay on both at the same time?
I once had a record locator that was on both. Don’t know how it happened because I request an instrument supported upgrade but my upgrade cleared into R using UDU sticker upgrades. Not sure how exactly that happened but normally in my experience it’s one or the other. What she meant is that C class sometimes gets released before R and if that is the case SWU, Miles, and BXP upgrades would get processed before sticker upgrades. But, BXP upgrades now (as of a few months ago) fall behind sticker upgrades on the PALL list so if you are on the gate upgrade list then a sticker supported upgrade would clear before a BXP upgrade for passengers with same level of status.
