I didn't realize CX op ups based on status.
I got op up'd from PY to J on ICN-HKG at check-in on an avios ticket (BA FF number attached but zero status). It's hard to believe that there wasn't anyone in PY that had any level of OneWorld or CX status over me who had none. The op up being a way to try to snipe my business seems very plausible.

Say if PEY or maybe even PEY & Y together was oversold by 10 seats. Then CX needs to select 10 pax to be moved to J. All of the pax with status in PEY has been moved to J already and they still need to select more pax. And normally pax travelling alone has priority.
I have been on flights with Y & PEY oversold by maybe 20 seats one times, you hear a lot of beeps at boarding gate and a lot of boarding passes facing down. Almost everyone queueing in front of me (status pax at the J boarding line) had a new boarding pass.... Maybe because another flight cancelled?
