Speaking from experience, if you mile+copay, a manifest is printed at the gate which tells the agents which people to call to collect copay.

In this case, there were no seats and 20+ on the waitlist, why would they collect copay when at time of request they couldn’t ticket/book it? This was definitely a waitlist situation.
