I could not find this discussion in the forum, so I hope I'm not bringing up an old topic.

I am confirmed on 4 bus award tickets--90,000 mile awards--this summer from CDG to Frankfurt. The tickets were booked and ticketed 331 days ahead, but of course, the exact routing "didn't have seats in the inventory yet". The agent allowed me to waitlist 3 different schedules that allowed the nonstop between CDG and ATl, instead of having to go through IAD, then to ATL on the return.

Now I hear the waitlist is no more---when I spoke with the agent recently, she said it will never clear, because there is no more waitlist. My question to those of you with experience in this---If I was on the waitlist when waitlist was allowed, do I have any recourse with Delta in hoping they will allow something to clear with a better connection? I know we are number 1 in position on those lists, because they told me that when I booked the ticket.

Can they just arbitrarily throw me off the waitlist they put me on when waitlists were allowed?

Thanks for helping. Sorry I typed so much but I didn't know how else to say it.

PS--I'm not a medallion member and I don't have enough miles left to do anything more than what I have booked.
