On the iPhone app and on DL.com it shows me as #15/17 on the Standby list.

Called back into the Diamond line and got the same answer of being #1 on the list, and clearing ahead of RU upgrades.

Any advice / experience?

If you ask nicely, they might event confirm you on both flights. That way you actually get the upgrade instead of when you fly standby - confirmed pax upgrades clear then they clear the standby list.
