C4 for my flight Friday (so <100 hours out) per EF. I’m still listed as “upgrade requested”.

I called EXP desk and was told it’s not about whether C fare is available. Is that correct?
That depends, are you waitlisted for a SWU or your EXP complimentary domestic sticker upgrade (UDU)?

Complimentary domestic sticker upgrades pull from different inventory (R), this clearing has no correlation with C space being available. So the agent was correct.

But SWUs and miles/copay pull from C, if you're waitlisted for a SWU and see C space open, definitely HUCA.
