No-one else on the standby list. The upgrade list was five deep with my name at the top. However, at T-55 minutes I was given a seat in Y, and the next three names on the list were all upgraded to J. Thankfully Y being wide open meant I didn't end up with a middle seat, at least.

I'm not sure if the Latitude FP booking factors in at all, e.g. despite the fare being J flex in the PNR perhaps it's treated in the back end as an upgraded Y ticket in some ways still.

If I understand the wiki correctly:
- If I'm treated as a paid J, I should have been higher priority than the eupgrade requests from confirmed Y passengers (consistent with the list as displayed prior to processing, but means the list processed incorrectly)
- If I'm treated as an upgraded J, then I should have been the *lowest* on the eupgrade list, behind everyone else on the upgrade list that was already confirmed on the flight (consistent with how the list was actually processed, but means the list displayed was completely wrong)
