I've called in about a waitlisted GUC more than a month out from my flight and I was told I was number x on the upgrade list. So, I assume you go on the list as soon as you purchase your ticket. I could very well be wrong though but that's what it sounds like to me. Granted, I'm talking international compared to domestic but I would think the underlying process is the same.

Waitlists are opened 331 days in advance, and only Res agents (not airport agents) are trained to view them. The airport standby list opens with check-in and is what the public can view.

And speaking from a Res standpoint, since that waitlist can only be looked up in Term, it's not something that many agents know.

Also, it's the Waitlist for points/certificates. There's a command to view all medallions, but I'm not sure if that's sorted in any order.

Term isn't really taught much anymore. The waitlist command is easy, but you have to dig to find it.
