If there are 50 on standby and 30 on the UG list I suppose that would take a while but how often does that happen? not often unless you are on some high frequency route during peak hours. AS108 was oversold and the screens still cycled through the lists at a decent rate. What Id like to know is if you are a gold with a companion how does it show up on this board? Does just the primary traveler show up on it or both of you? Obviously if theres just 1 seat open and you are next it leap frogs you. Would the UG list say ANcx2 ANc/MrsANC or both separately or what?
Good question... or side by side names...

I've heard of instances of long ques of folks trying to get out of Alaska during the winter/spring time, and then with wx, the lists can be quite long as well I'd imagine...
