All I am suggesting is between NRSAs and paid GSes, UA will move the paid GSer into the studio suite.
put differently, I expect United to sell 64 J seats on these flights. If some of the 8 studio suites are unsold, some J pax may not get a seat assignment until, say, 24 hours out. At that point I predict UA will upgrade by status to those seats. In the first instance it will be people who used instruments (miles, plus points), and then those who didn’t. NRSAs will fill in the vacated other Polaris seats (all assuming there’s no one in P+ or Y to upgrade).
