Here is from skywards.com:
Skywards waitlist priority
As a member, you will receive special waitlist priority over non-Skywards members for available seats on fully booked flights.
To make use of this service, simply quote your Skywards membership number when you book your flight, and the staff at Emirates will make every effort to accommodate you. Your priority will increase as you progress through the tiers. Please note that this privilege is not applicable on reward flights or flights that have a 'closed' status.
