At the 3 hour mark, I receive an alert from expertflyer that an R/RN seat opened up.
I check the pda site, I am still #1, but now FC is book full.
It stayed full, never gotthe UG.

The list you see is only used at the gate. The automated EUA system uses a different hierarchy formula which can cause the order of that list to be different than the one you see online.
