Quite possibly.
My question is: do uniformed AC employees trump a revenue passenger?
If you've boarded, you've effectively taken yourself off the list. They don't trump you, they're just the last people left on the list.

Deadheading pilots, whether captains or FOs, are entitled to J, and revenue passengers can even be downgraded, if need be, to accommodate them.
Deadheading FAs and all commuting staff only get what's left over.
