I like the fact that such as system like this is in existence...
...now if it can decipher the AF upgrade mess--that would be amazing...

Hi all,
Many times I see Delta flyers on this board asking what their rank is on the proverbial upgrade totem pole. I've written a calculator with figuring out just what priority you are based on your Medallion status and fare class. The Medallion Upgrade Priority Calculator (MUPC) let's you see your rank and who you are outranked by - unless of course you are an Executive Partner on full Y with an Amex Reserve

Any feedback is appreciated and thanks.

If so, I think it is presented better with the first column of Medallion class, the second column of full fare the third for Amex and the last column the fare class.
If I sound confused, I am.
e.g.,
Ex Part Y Amex
Ex Part - Amex B, M, H, Q, K, L, U, T
Ex Part - - B, M, H, Q, K, L, U, T

Wonderful tool. I am a bit confused by the way it is presented. If I am GOLD on a T class with Amex, do I outrank GOLD on B without Amex?

I thought it was a tie breaker, but I've already been wrong once in this thread. I thought it was GM on K w/Amex beats GM with K who doesn't have the amex, but a GM on a Q beats both.

Also, just put in Plat on a B fare. It tells me Execs, Plats and Golds on Y beat me. I believe an FO on a Y fare will also beat me. True?

That's my understanding as well. Amex is a tie breaker and nothing else. If you have two same-level elites on the same fare-class then Amex is the first tie breaker before "request time".

Edited to add that I'm not sure it has actually be changed. This page is a bit unclear on the matter. https://www.delta.com/skymiles/about...ades/index.jsp It sounds like the Ys clear first for all medallions based upon time of ticketing, not time of upgrade request.

A PM on Y beats any PM, GM, FO
A GM on Y beats any PM not on a Y, any GM, any FO
A FO on a Y beats any PM or GM not on a Y and any FO.
It used to be that all Y fares were "A1R" status which wasn't sorted out by status level. So a FO that booked before a PM on a full Y could beat them. That's what they corrected.

According to DL.com, it is not date of upgrade request that matters as a tie breaker, but rather the time of ticketing. The current calculator uses upgrade request at the tie breaker.

I think it technically is date of upgrade request - however the upgrade is requested automatically at ticketing unless you uncheck the box. If you don't check it and come back later and request it then I believe you would still be at date of when you checked the box instead of ticketing. I just don't see that anyone would do this.l

PM/MM carries no clout at all?
You'd think it might break a tie in some permutation.
