Yea,,, I get it... Use my EXP status to get the upgrade on domestic leg.... Cool indeed... But....

I'm just curious with the "behind the scene" stuff. Does one's SWU " affect the standing one has on the upgrade list?

For example, would a CK/EXP applying a SWU for their Intl leg get them priority on the upgrade list for the domestic leg above CK/EXP's bases on EQD's?
No, the fact that you have a waitlisted SWU on an int'l segment has no bearing on your waitlist position for any domestic segments where you're also waitlisted for a sticker uograde.
