As a Platinum Elite ... I would have no qualms with bumping a Gold or Silver Elite member - it wouldn't matter who I elected to upgrade as my companion quite candidly. My Platinum status "outranks" that Gold or Silver member
If a Silver or Gold has a problem with my decision - let them spend the time and money with the carrier that I have (and become Platinum) and then my decision won't affect them. Frankly, I don't care what they think.

Thankfully, on NW, Silver Elites outrank companions of Gold and Platinum Elites in the upgrade hierarchy, so people like me don't have to worry about Plats who think nothing of taking away our upgrades in order to satisfy their urge to be a good Samaritan. (I fail to see how taking something away from someone in order to give it to someone else makes one a good Samaritan.)
Another reason to choose NW over CO.
Edited to add: Hotlancer, if you REALLY want to be noble, why not give up your OWN upgrade to the uniformed service member instead of taking an upgrade away from someone else?
