29/9 LAX-HKG J: Waitlist confirmed on 23/9 (today) (we confirmed a less preferable flight earlier to do the 6/9 issue, we rebooked on this flight)
Pretty consistent T-6. But both dates are I9 throughout so still frustrated it took this long.
With CX LAX/SFO I'm increasingly forced to confirm less preferable inbound flights on the same class/routing.
Bear in mind there's probably a lot of AA EXPs on these routes with no need to do return flights and free redposits - they need not do our stupid less preferable inbound bookings.
