Given the cross-referenced upgrade list below. what is the most likely reason for #8, #9, #15, and #16 on the Business list not appearing on the PP list -- Y bookings where they chose to apply PP/Miles for Business and went all-or-nothing, right? If they were already in Premium Plus they'd be ahead of all passengers waitlited for both or is there another scenario where this makes sense (FWIW #4 is a 1K, so guessing 5 and below are either 1K or lower or possibly GS in Y)
If they applied Plus Points for both cabins and are confirmed in RN, it would look the same. Clearing an instrument upgrade to PE doesn't increase your position on the J waitlist. For example, they might have cleared to RN long ago at booking, and later on others applied points for both cabins. Or they could indeed be doing an all-or-nothing request for J only.
As mentioned, anyone with a GS instrument applied (whether or not themselves GS, and not including a GS with a non-GS instrument) would be ahead of all others on the J waitlist and would generally be higher than #4 because of this.
