On departure day, you are still on PN list, but you will be behind all GS who are on PN list (there might be GS using 1K PP then they will be on PZ list which is blow PN list). But you will be ahead of Plat/Gold etc. who are on PN list. For other 1Ks on PN list, it depends on fares paid.
Much appreciated! While I hoped that was the case if I had a purchased ticket, I wasn't sure how things would shake out when using a miles ticket and the GS ability to apply PP. Regardless, worth a shot as I can always cancel the award ticket worst case.
