If there are lots of seats available it's just a matter of hours/days before they call to confirm my seat, but you need to be a cool customer to wait till the last minute.
The seat is currently available, unless we're talking about two different flights.
You don't have to wait for the waitlist to clear, it might not

There has been at least one ocassion where I have to tell the CS agent:
"Drop my CX889 waitlist"
"OK sir, done. Are you ready to ticket?"
"Please add the CX889 immediately available seat, then ticket.]
