Before they changed the post-EUA upgrade order to be based on fare class I regularly scored "SEQ 1" and got upgraded much more often than others at my elite level. Things changed drastically when they changed the rules. I had no evidence other than empirical evidence, but I'm sure that the sequence number played a big role in many of my upgrades. I think it still helps but to a lesser extent.
