Yeah..As a PMCO flyer, I'm an old hand with what we called Plan B and actually quoted in part of the Wiki for the consolidated waitlist thread. And my phone calls to waitlist no longer require HUCA. Either I'm lucky and get someone who knows what they're doing, I get referred to a supervisor, or I'm able to educate the agent regarding the process..So. I'll take another shot at calling an agent and see what they can do.

But there are still incredible mysteries regarding the waitlist PR list, and also the Saver inventory....Per my previous post, it's incredible that a search shows vastly different flights and saver inventory when searching for a one way award vs. a RT award, with the One Way award in one case having about 5X the Saver inventory.
