In order to redeeem it with Avios you're going to have to cancel the waitlist after it clears.

And the released seat may not necessarily be re-released for Avios.

Actually someone asked this recently in the AAdvantage CX partner redemptions thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...l#post25423045
Thanks, curious if CX blocks award space for the first and last flight of the day? I've been checking on the dates and routes I want but seems that the earliest flight is often unavailable for economy award even at 6 months out, is it likely that additional seats will be released later or should I just redeem for premium economy seat on the same flight now given it's still available.

Particularly, I'm looking for 2 Y seats on CX463 on Feb 19.
