If you're talking CPUs, yes. But status also counts when applying for mileage or PlusPoint upgrades - higher status passengers with upgrade requests using miles or PPs will clear before lower/no status requests. You do have advantages within your staus group due to fare class.

Do you have Plat or better status? If you do, a full Y fare might be eligible for a YBM-up. If so, application of miles might have actually hurt your chances.
