In general, a SWU or CR-1 will put you on PA, while a mileage upgrade will put you on PB (though some 1Ks report they end up on PA).
well here's one......

i sponsored goalie-sis (2p) on-line with miles and i called today to check as to her w/l status and was told she's on the priority wait list. of course being the good f/t'er, i inquired as to whether it as pa or pb and was told "pa" and i was surprised as i thought 2p's did not get pa w/listed. perhaps where i'm a 1k, the w/l is also based on the sponsor's status (or is it the fact that it's a milage upgrade)
