Anyone able to decipher why? What is my true ranking here for J? My YYZ-YVR was ticketed in PY
I'm assuming your original ticket is PY (lowest) and not PY (flex).

Either way it would give you top priority for PY because you paid for that seat and so it's not an upgrade for you. That gives priority over anyone for whom it's an upgrade.

GEN.R probably has a latitude fare. That gives a higher priority for J than PY (lowest). But PY is still an upgrade for him but you have a paid PY ticket. That's why you're higher on the PY list.
