I don't think anyone is suggesting they'd give them away for free to GS/1K first-come, first-served, and even CPUs seem unlikely to me (except, when a Polaris 2.0 is swapped into a CPU-eligible route; in those cases, I suspect the entire J cabin will be treated as one upgrade zone).
Yes ok, I was conflating the two. But if from an op-up perspective, if a GS/1K was already booked in a regular Polaris J seat, and PE or Y was overbooked, do we really think UA will bump the GS/1K from their J seat to a Studio seat, and then a op-up a PE/Y passenger to a regular Polaris seat? Or would they op-up a GS/1K sitting in PE/Y directly to a Studio seat? Perhaps I'm just finding it overly complicated for UA to do.
