RPU Strategy for P.S. Flight

Hi All,

I realize this has been discussed in the past, but I can't find a thread more recent than 2 years ago, and since then, things may have changed.

I'm on a P.S. flight this coming Saturday, 10/29, that is currently showing J4 inventory (R0, of course). I've waitlisted for an upgrade with an RPU, and was hoping for some insight around what I should do between T-24 and boarding. Should I continue checking for R inventory? I don't have another RPU to burn if something opens up. Would customer service consider forcing my upgrade should R inventory open up? Anything else I can do to help my chances? The only things I see working in my favor is the fact that it's EWR-SFO on a Saturday morning (fewer business passengers, in theory) and the lack of CPU's on a P.S. flight.

Also, I don't believe there's any way to check my waitlist position, but if there is, would love to hear about that, too.

Thanks, all, for the help!
