I meant, based upon what you saw in the app or the airport.

The guy who got upgraded on the plane was with his wife. Possible, but that sort of jumping around seems more like something I'd see on a Thursday SFO-LAX.
Alternative theories: either a few passengers misconnected, or there was a massive delay on an earlier LAX-EWR flight, or even a cancellation on SFO-EWR.

And I don’t think that six 1Ks cleared into RN on a flight where a Platinum was #1 on the list.
