Ok, you have been venting a lot! I want to try something. Let's both take the same flight and both make some kind of request at the same time and see what happens :).
Are you suggesting that your attitude may determine your altitude?

So not sure if I should have started a new thread. But if I wanted to eUp a person travelling on the same flight but not same PnR. Do you just go to the GA with both BP's and ask them to eUP on the other person? (assume status or non-status)
Is there also a way to eUp them before you get to the gate or even the airport? Like just by calling the altitude line...etc?

If you have access to a concierge, then they can do it for a flight departing the same day. If you do not, you have to go to the gate.

Can you also do it at the check-in counter at the airport?

I do not know for sure. I only have a sample size of 1 as I've tried to do this at the counter and they told me to buzz off, politely.

Yes. This is better than at the gate. Doing it there ensures that the request gets into the queue. At the gate, lower priorities (including op-ups and non-rev) could get ahead of your request.

Lounge agents also can do this.

Good to know!
Thanks Guys,

Last question! I'm currently E35K, assuming that R space is 0 which it would be by then since the flight is under airport control. Would my request just be in order of status? eg) If I upgrade a friend with no-status from my account, they would be ahead of a P25k requesting an upgrade still?

Your friend will have the same status priority as you until the check-in window opens for the flight (T-24 hours).
Once check-in opens, then your friend is on his/her own, and if your friend has no status, he/she will be at the bottom of the upgrade waitlist.

Your friend clears under his own status. So he'd be near the bottom.
