I am a non-elite on UA. I'm on LH-UA-UA metal on an F award. The last segment (domestic on UA) is in Y. Thanks to some good advice, I called in and was able to wait list for F - two of us - and it does show up on the itinerary.
Ya, I held for a good long time but finally got an agent who knew what they were doing. It was recommended to ask for a PMCO agent to get it done, but I lucked out and got one on the second try.
