[QUOTE=Jason Chan;30635628]So there was a thread a while ago on Cathay wanting to fly empty flights rather than release the seats for redemption, but I was just wondering if you had a higher MPC status, would it help with wait listing redemption flights? I may just be unlucky but I feel my chances have been the same when I started at MPC green to MPC gold.

You are head of the queue for any tickets released into redemption should CX ever feel like it (and recently, they rarely do)
But at GO CX will not open seats for you (compared to DM)

Not a system limitation - look at CSX:
