If more than 24 hours out, these most likely cleared via RPU or GPU.



Yes, that's correct, except see above re RPU/GPU.
That's what I wondered, but it's different than I had seen before, or so it seemed....of course, being #20 or 30 on the list makes one not bother with tiny details. The names already on the next flight's list might be RPUs, mileage redemption upgrades, etc. The only upgrades I had gotten in the past were as a Silver (!, but this was MCO-CLE full of Disney visitors) and of course there, the addition to the list is after T-24 and OLCI. It is odd that they don't just show the waitlist so you know you are actually on it vs. assuming so, but I'm not counting on it anyway.
