This is more evidence that RPU's on this route are not being cleared correctly.
UAINSIDER, are you listening?
There is no way that the 11am, 2:30pm, 5:35pm, and 7pm flights on THURSDAY evening (read: consultants, full-fare, Y/B/M) have no waitlisted passengers at the 24hour mark for p.s flights. Clearly RPUs are not being processed by the computer correctly.
I am also interested to learn if others are noticing that this at the 24 hour mark on this route, J turns to R automatically (and incorrectly)...
The behavior you're describing is correct.
If R opens up at or inside 24 hours, you won't clear, because you cannot clear inside 24 hours due to SHARES system limitations.
At that point, you can either wait to clear at the gate, or you can call and use another Regional to clear right away.
