Are you sure about that? Whenever I'm waitlisted on an award ticket, they tell me I'm on a priority waitlist. That suggests that there is a PA/PB system similar to the upgrade waitlist. In other words, all 1Ks and those traveling on 1K miles should be cleared FIFO before others are cleared FIFO.

Make sure that the gate agents know she is waitlisted for an award ticket and should be classified as FFCC. From most accounts, this is not necessarily automatic.
