2) If there's no premium cabin (i.e., an RJ), pax connecting to/from non-discounted premium paid tix get first priority.
3) Full fare coach, sorted by elite status if a tiebreaker is needed. They only get coach seats, though.
4) Discounted premium cabin tickets, sorted by elite status if a tiebreaker is needed. [THEORY: they wanted the discount, took the restrictions, they shouldn't bump a full Y pax out of a Y seat, but should bump any discounted Y pax.]
In which case, you have to deal with cabin allocation. How do you compensate for downgrades? Should premium passengers get a choice between delay and downgrade? And how do you allocate op-ups?

Here meaning employees travelling on free time, as perquisite of job?
