  3. The odds of wonky outcomes, e.g., I getting upgraded to Polaris, she to PE, are 0?
  4. At T-24, the PNR will be split? I’ll have to call to prevent that – remove the upgrade request just before T-24? (sitting together>>upgrade)
1 - Yes
2 - Yes
3 - You also need an “Until T-24” here
4 - Yes, or slightly before that.

TY.
Monday 12/15 has slightly more Z inventory, which is a precursor to P, then PN, then PZ. In general, I’d expect a Tuesday to be better than a Monday, though, so I’m not sure there’s a strong signal either way.
