It's speculative that this could or would happen, but it is not supposed to.

However, I had a C alert EF email on 13 Oct for my waitlisted SWU on the 14th from LHR-DFW. I got the email about 2 hours after EF sent it. At that point, I called AA to see if I had cleared and they said I had not, and the C space was gone.

Maybe that was just a phantom C-alert from EF, or a glitch in the system. Who knows. I did end up getting the SWU cleared, however, about 8 hours later.
