Looking nice and light at the moment, with even the deep discount (I) bucket on offer in business (this is the fare class that WPs can request to release award seats from). I'd say good chances, but still some time to pass. Your upgrade will be processed based on your own status at the time of processing; your travel partner's status won't weigh you down
