What you do not know is the reason why those 6 were travelling and what they are entitled to under their union labor contract. They may not have been "upgraded" but entitled to fly up front from the start.
There is a difference between AA employees travelling for work(duty) and those travelling for themselves(off duty commuting etc)
We get threads like this every few weeks (often a rant). The threads can get locked
That doesn't make a difference at all, that wouldn't completely wipe someone off the upgrade list. If they were entitled to that, then one of them wouldn't have gotten bumped after the rogue gate agent was confronted either and the Admirals Club agent wouldn't have said that the situation shouldn't have happened and was clueless as to why that happened. Also doesn't answer the second part of my post about AA gate agents knowingly doing this.
