2) If you're on a flight standby list with a GPU waitlisted will they clear you into BF without ever being "officially" given an Economy seat (i.e. if GPU/1K/M-fare gets the priority)
I'll answer one part of the question I originally posed above.
I stayed with UA90 and tonights flight is listed BF=Full and Economy=Full. There are 2 people on the flight standby list and also the BF Upgrade List. So it does appear they would pull you from Economy Standby to the BF Upgrade List, if available at deparure. Of course I don't know if this was a result of a SDC or not.
