4. Process the J non rev
5. Process the Y non revs and J non revs that didn't make J

1 and 2 is automated, and processed 5 minutes after check in cut off time.

3 I think is a manual process, with the selectees picked by DCS based on the usual. I think this is manual because maybe misconnects etc. But at that point I think passengers that missed cut off time are unassigned their seats.

But the above is also why YBYL. The GA may only know very late that a CKIN passenger actually won't show up. And how you end up with empty J/Y seats.

4 and 5 I think is done automatically if no #3 .
Thanks for the info....the list I'd love to see of course is the DCS selectees list, which will never happen. Pays your money, takes your chances I guess.

At present there is no one on the upgrade or standby lists, so whatever op ups need to be done will likely be the first step. It's all about how lucky I feel. I'm a firm believer in the "if you want J pay for J" theory, either in cash or e-ups, but I'd just hate to spend the credits if I would have gotten a complementary upgrade anyways.
