Sure!

What's PB for? PR2 for 1Ks or something?
Correct. PC is for Plat and Gold members. PD is for silver and lower.

Well, since I know just a little bit about the UA internal system I will explain.

The correct code for PR-1 status is waitlisting the PNR using a SSR called PA (It goes down to PB/PC/PD). PA is used for GS members, now since you (and AJK) don't belong to be waitlisted as a PA, ONLY GS members belong in PA, the system does not prioritize the customer based on status. Since PA accommodates only one status, GS. While the matter that does factor is fare class and time of request, since you were both holding the same fare class the next factor was time of request. And I would guess that the agent requested AJKs upgrade first, that is why he was #1.  If you think its worth adding this to the comments on the MS, LMK  :)
the one (and only) time i tried to get pr-1 status, the agent insisted i wasnt eligible since pr-1 was specific for gs members. i guess she wasnt bs'ing me

If you kvetched for PR1 because you were on a Plan B then she did BS you. What I said above was in general when using all kind of upgrades. However, plan B folks as well as overbooked pax etc are supposed to get manually PR1 as well. Like Dan and AJK got.

For the am aratzim here, can you translate "pnr" "ssr" "pa". Sounds interesting.

Don't put me in "you guys." I had to eat a cancellation fee because of AJKs alleged "job."
