Nothing anywhere near that happens in practice. Yes, UA will try to sell as much as possible, but it rarely falls below $50/flight nowadays (a times in the past it may have been slight less).

somehow bumping everyone else?

although it looks like they already cleared 3-4 from the list already.
That is what one might expect, moving ahead of all non-GS CPU. Appears no other remaining ungraded support upgraders

I did something recently on a 4 hour flight, only one that ended up clearing
