Cos the guy on the line didn't seem keen to place me on waitlist and keep insisting at the beginning of the call (even without asking for my trip details) that waitlist rarely clears.

I am just a *G member with OZ.

thanks.

They do and often close the lower fare class waitlists. I've even called the PPS coordinator to ask - no dice even as ~15yrs as PPS (>5 Solitaire). The few times I clear on C (usually because I want to change a return flight) it's been like a day before travel. It's mostly SIN<>JFK that's been giving me this problem and that's full upper deck A380 business class.
