International, I would tell ya yes, They upgrade anyone with a black passport when traveling overseas and there are seats avail.
This is something I have never understood. If an employee has purchased a ticket and there are seats available in first class, why not upgrade them? Honor seniority of course, but if a person who can non rev has purchased a ticket, why treat them worse than if they were there for free?
