Based on experience, I don’t know this is necessarily true. Almost seems like a gimmick UA is using to try and get people to buy PP as if true, I would have expected SFO-PVG today to go from J7 to J2 at T-23:55 and seen 5 PP seats open. Instead it went from J7 to J2 and only 2 PP seats opened suggesting 3 Y pax were upgraded to J and myself as a 1K on paid R fare with MUA applied was not upgraded. My hunch is MUAs have lower priority than GPUs and R fares do not Trump coach fares with GPUs applied.
