I do not believe that is correct. I haven't had a non-SE nominee since we had multiple slots, but I'm pretty sure they get their own priority at the gate.

Anyone able to decipher why? What is my true ranking here for J? My YYZ-YVR was ticketed in PY
You're high (#2 at the moment) on the PY list because you paid for PY, and therefore have priority over eUps.

You're at the bottom of J because "eUpgrades from people not confirmed on the flight" are below "eUpgrades from people confirmed on the flight".

If there were space in PY, and I were remotely confident you'd even be in the top 5 now, I'd say "just do a SDC". But there isn't, and I'm not.

That's not true. See the wiki for general priority, and my above correct explanation for this specific case.
