Standby, on DM, two different statuses on the same PNR
 
Tried to search for this, but no luck.

My friend and I are traveling today, and trying to standby for an earlier flight. I'm 1K, she's GM, and we're on the same PNR. Once it goes to the departure management list, do we clear together or will I clear first?

TIA.

Once on DM, it is the passanger's status that matters (and then fare class and if needed Check-In time), therefore the 1K will clear first and the GM later if, at all

Even on the same PNR? Not trying to be argumentative, but I just usually travel by myself.

PNR is the reservation, DM is DM. Different beasts. Pax are linked (to the status of the highest Pax) on the PNR but not the DM.

That being said. I have seen:

JONES/Mr
SMITH/Mr
JONES/Mrs
SMITH/Mrs
SMITH/Jnr

Become

JONES/Mr
JONES/Mrs
SMITH/Mr
SMITH/Mrs
SMITH/Jnr

right before my eyes on the screens during DM UPDG processing. Perhaps due to a member of one or other SMITH or JONES parties telling the GA they did not wish to be split up. So in this situation I would tell the GA you are a party of two, smile and see what happens.
