Cool Playing the "Waitlist" Game

Hello My Fellow NW FT'ers. I DID try to search previous posts on this board for an existing thread that covers the question I am going to ask, but I could not find a thread. If there is an existing thread, please forgive me for opening this new thread!

I am traveling SEA-MSP (surprise, surprise) in a couple of days. When I booked my original ticket, I thought I would need to keep an early morning meeting with my client. To my happy surprise, I found out at the end of last week that I do not need to be in office at my client the day I am travelling back to Minne! Okay, now my dilemma. I would reallly, really, really like to be on an earlier flight out on the same day. If I waitlist for an earlier flight, how does it work with getting on the flight (my main need) and then with snagging a FC UG? From experience, do the GA's clear you into coach first, then you get put in the pecking order for the battlefield FC UG's? Or, do you get cleared into coach first, but after the battfield FC UG's have been disbursed.

Thanks in advance for your help!
