B-ups and Mileage Plus
If I book a flight on CO with my onepass #, take the B-up then change the FF# to my Premier Executive MP account will I lose my upgrade?

I'm surprised no one knows the answer to this. The elite desk was no help! I need the miles in my MP to get over the hurdle for an award flight, but I don't want to do it at risk of losing an upgrade.

A lot of people seem to do this right before the flight so they don't lose the upgrade. I even had a flight attendant suggest it to me as she was bumping me to E+, so clearly other people have been doing (and getting away) with it.

1) CO metal does not have E+, and
2) Other threads have made it clear that CO FA's do not "upgrade" or "bump" people
