If I split the PNR, then I think the following is most likely:
- I get upgraded.
- He gets bumped to E-.
- I can't call and get his E+ seat back as I'm now in C.
16AB are
nice seats on the 767, so I think I'm going to leave us on one PNR (SWUs applied and we're now waitlisted).
- If we both clear ahead of time or at the gate, great.
- If we both don't clear ahead of time or at the gate, fine.
- If I clear at the gate and he doesn't, he's OK in 16A.
Life ain't perfect.
Thanks for the input.

The key here is what is more important to you:
1. Sit together with your son in E+ or
2. Upgrade from Y to C
Of course, most of us want both. If you have to choose one of the two, which one will you choose?
If you choose #1, then leave everything alone and stay in one PNR. If you choose #2, then split your PNR.
