Between that and a few times where the EXP agent never requested the waitlist properly initially (like on this last request), I make it a point to call in and check at the T-48 or T-24 mark just in case, if there seems to be a lot of seats available. I would wait until T-48 and check back if nothing has cleared by then -- once or twice, I've seen AA still take the waitlist to the airport even when there's plenty of seats (maybe due to an oversold Y cabin, etc.).
Thanks... Just crossed over the threshold of T-36 hours. Still slowly seats are starting to become occupied in J. Lots of open seats in Y too. My upgrade requests look good I'm told. Just have to wait for RM to do their thing.
Maybe AA is waiting to see how thing going within the next day or two with regards to the political situation here. Last night turmoil flared at two spots not far from my hotel. Both are still issues this AM. But you'd not know it looking out the windows here, people are going about life with their morning commutes underway this Monday morning.
