I was wondering what you guys thought the chances are that the SEA based AS agents will upgrade my companion even though he's on an award ticket. For the record, I'm just an MVP at this moment although it won't be much longer until my card turns GOLD.

I've had good experiences in the past with NW, they actually upgraded my companion even though my upgrade was on the AS elite cert for space available NW FC. My companion did not have elite status on AS or NW at that time but the nice agent in BNA did not want to split us up!
