Yes they do. With in an elite tier:
1) Y/B Fares have a priority on the upgrade list above all other economy fares.
2) Request timestamp

I think this is true....I'm always #1 on the upgrade list when booking through aairpass which books into Y - and I usually book the day of.

I only do a domestic red eye for my kids.

There are many refundable tickets in classes other than Y & B which do not get upgrade priority.

All I said was that Y/B fares had a priority on the upgrade queue with in an elite tier. Nothing about other fare buckets getting priority.

Actually, you said "Yes they do" which is not entirely accurate.

You're really nitpicking on the "yes they do." He elaborated with:

2) Request timestamp
He explained in detail what he meant and it was correct.
