Also in the situation where the forecast is completely empty for J!
Isn't it when it passes to airport control at t-72 hours?
I have a flight I want to upgrade to F that I am waitlisted for - its over in Y and J but I guess they won't confirm until 5 days out like last time so they can then sell our J seats which may or may not be more likely than selling the F seat.
