That’s not supposed to happen. Is the Platinum guy also an ex-GS? The only (correct) way for someone on a CPU to be ahead of anybody with an upgrade instrument applied is for the CPU passenger to be GS.

Doesn’t have to be 6 GSes — just 6 passengers on GS instruments. You may have found a GS family returning from Spring Break or something.
