Need CO Elite help

I have an experiment I'd like to try but will need the assistance of another CO elite member. I've got a companion accompanying me on a few NW segments of my flights from Asia. Because we're not on the same PNR (record locator), NW refuses to extend the priority seating to my companion. I can grab a preferred seat b'cos of my elite status.

What I'd like to do is to switch the NW PNR to recognize another CO elite FF, grab adjacent an adjacent seat to me, and then remove the CO elite FF number. I cannot switch my companion's FF to mine so b'cos I'm already on that flight. I'll send instructions privately.

Can anybody assist?

You can't do this unless the name is the same on the FF account and ticket. The number will go in but unless the name matches it won't recognize the status.

ive flown NW twice when a pass was on a seperate record and had them move my friend next to me in the elite section both times. one guy wouldnt do it.

just call a bunch of times until you can get an agent to do it.

Unfortunately, NW changed their policy a few months ago (per elite call center). I know I've managed to secure priority seating even when the name and FF#s do not match on NW's ticketing system. Can anybody help?
