This caused 3 more calls to the diamond line to fix. First call I was told I was on the list, even though I can see clearly I was out. Rather then argue I hung up and called again. Second agent said it was fixed now and that I needed to check in again. I did and still was not added to the list. The final call fixed it. Turns out the agent that wait listed me forgot to attach the certificate number and redemption code to the ticket. Thus the system would not process. Once this was fixed I was #1 on the list.

This really needs to get fixed....
Was this a DL-operated flight or a codeshare? I've only done the standby SWU once and, on that DL-operated flight, my upgrade priority was correct -- the original booking had been done by Chisholm.
