Your profile says you're 25K. It's relatively rare I'm on a flight with another SMR, so Comfort and Standard have me at the same spot on the list.
I haven’t changed my profile in a while. My bad. I’m actually 35K whoopee. but yes, I hadn’t considered for MM (I assume SMR means highest status level but I’m not sure ) and status takes precedence over other factors to climb to the top of the upgrade priority list I believe. So yes. I hadn’t considered the fact that very high status passengers such as yourself trump the rest of us and essentially any fare class for you wouldn’t factor into the position on the list.

Thank you for clarifying…….even more reason why eUps are a rarity for us “infrequent” frequent flyers
I also tend to make the mistake that very high status passengers don’t fly economy. But that error in thinking is from the fact the only MM SE people I know don’t know what economy even is hahahah
