- If your Upgrade Certificate doesn't clear before check-in, you will be added to the airport standby list. While Upgrade Certificates clear the airport standby list before Complimentary Upgrades, they do follow the same clearance hierarchy.

Interesting, I haven't noticed that caveat before. So it sounds like on the airport list fare class and the other usual complimentary upgrade factors do matter, but not when you're waitlisted prior to the airport.
