Not a chance, All forms of GS request are handle before no-GS (possible exception is 1K on YBM fare and that might beat a GS CPU)

Also a Gold can only clear at booking, not waitlisting
thank you for the reply. i appreciate the intel about gs and cpu priority

i've had 1k cpu clear 3-5 weeks before. on k fare and similar. i'm talking iah-den tuesday on 773 where half the plane was business class. or 739 abq-iah sunday morning kind of thing. anything legacy united and on a weekday and or touching east or west coast i'd be amazed if i showed up on page 4 of upgrade list on a 320

all of these flights are on 319 and during chrimmas so thoughts and prayers please
