If you asked the agent to only waitlist the long leg but they immediately put the short one’s OY space into your reservation, you had a bad agent and have likely identified the cause of the aforementioned problems.
None of the segments had any availability when I called in (around 4 weeks ago). The short segment cleared into RY about a week ago. The outbound flights are tomorrow.
