Why would someone be listed on both standby & upgrade list(s)?

And could you define or link to NRSA? I've only been doing this 45 years at the moment, my dictionary seems out of date

Non-Rev Space Available. Airline employee or passholder flying on a non-revenue, non-work (leisure) basis. They're listed as standbys and clear only after all revenue pax have cleared.
Okay. I was reacting to the use of all caps, which denotes "Shouting" on the internet.

NRSA, that's a lot of non-revs and voucher fliers, but I guess it's possible.

Incidentally, I was upgraded OUT AND BACK from LAX to KOA a few weeks ago, found that odd. First CPU i've had in about 18 months other than the random ONE of use gets upgraded but not both, which I then just deny and keep my leg room exit row seat.

On UA 895 (HKG-SIN) on 23 July there are two people who appear on the standby list and also on both the C UG list and the F UG list. These I assume are non-revs. There is, however, also a passenger who shows as cleared via the C UG list but who is also on the F UG list (I assume it's the same person but I suppose it's possibly a coincidence and it's two different people wit the same letters/initials). But assuming it's the same person, is this an NRPS who cleared into C (message directly above says they can "book" into C, which doesn't sound like it would show as an UG clear, but maybe I'm wrong about that), and then gets wait-listed for F, or is it something else? Just curious - thanks.

Could be a displaced paying F passenger that standby for business but waitlisted for F. Less common the NRSA but does happen. Would be ahead of any NRSA.

This just happened to me the other day. Paid intl J fare. My domestic connection (booked in F) went mx. The next connecting flight was F0Y0. So I was put on the Y stand-by list and F upgrade list. I cleared both (first into Y, then later in to F when there was a misconnect). It does happen.

Apologies if asked before. Small question on NRSA rules: can a nonrev list themselves for the J/F cabin only and not the Y cabin? (In other words, is it possible to see a name on the J standby/ug list that isn't on the Y standby list and for that name still to be a nonrev?)

Not necessarily! I asked a similar question last week when I saw that I was on both the biz as well as first upgrade list (on a domestic 3 class bird). I was upgraded to biz at time of ticketing, but the mobile site still shows my name on the list (as confirmed). I was surprised to see my name on the F list as well.

Flight standby List is same as Polaris Business Upgrade Standby List
Looking at my flight tomorrow... Polaris is fairly empty.....
Weird thing is that the standby lists for the flight and upgrade polaris standby are identical. Can I assume that these are all nonrev's? I had a friend who used to fly for UA and I recall looking at his nonrev access and it was interesting to see the number of people who were listed on multiple flights in multiple classes.
