You should just be glad that anyone was upgraded if you're only Silver.

No that's not how it works always. But if they don't have avail seats for both, they will move only you.

Is that standard? It will only elite upgrade the one with status? Seems weird, who would want to do that?

Yes, that is how it works. It used to be different way back in the day.

Same happened to me on United gold. I checked in, got upgraded, it split the reservation and removed my companion from the upgrade list even though there were available seats in first.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
