Other question, was your wife listed on the waitlist in her itinerary for the Z upgrade? Seems odd that with 9 seats open there wouldn't be any Z upgrade inventory available a day or two before the flight.
Thanks for the context. Yes - wait list showed in the reservation and during two calls reps said no other action was needed. Sounds like GAs at ACC normally push the nothing can be done within 24hrs and the wait list only matters in an oversold situation.
