I have had a schedual change to the return flight so I might have some leverage if some C space opens up that I can switch too

my question is if I do nothing what do you think the SWU will show in the system/gate for second leg?
If they've already pulled the SWU for the LAX-JFK segment then you should be fine, I would give AA a call to make sure you're still properly waitlisted for the JFK-LHR flight (using the SWU that was already pulled).
