Don't know the answer to you first question (I assume it's "no"), but several posts here have mentioned that the FFCC list is not just for award ticket holders, but for people who buy C or F tickets even if a C or F seat is not available on one of their flight legs. It makes total sense that they would have first crack at any C/F seats that become available. Supposedly the same logic applies to award tickets, which are "paid" for with miles. But as several posts in this and other threads indicate, some gate agents seem to disregard this and clear by status only (or maybe they just ignore the FFCC list entirely; who knows).
