What the RUC did was push you ahead of complimentary upgrades and in your specific case it appears no other medallion was using a upgrade certificate on ATL-PBI and you went to #1 on the list. The system worked how it was intended to work.
I’m well aware of that, I know how RUC’s work, I was pointing out that when RUC’s involved, the First and Comfort+ lists won’t always match up which is a result of what you said.
