I realize I need to clear the standby to be added to the upgrade list on the earlier flight.
I believe your timestamp for the upgrade on Flight 2 will be based on when you clear standby onto Flight 2. Not the old timestamp for the original Flight 1.

Agree with your latter post that if the upgrade onto flight 2 doesnt clear, then dont let them take you off flight 1.
