To clarify: If memory serves, GS on any business class ticket and fare basis code generally will go ahead of any 1K because last I knew that's how the computer sorts it. It may now be that Z would be excluded--not sure about that. Then there are gate agents who might proactively go for all full C people and proactively skip D fares but that's not how it's supposed to be done. Most CS supervisors wouldn't object. That's a bit of a gray area.
