So I have a couple of First class award standby reservations within the next 7 days but they never got cleared up. I put these requests 10 months ago (about when KE starts to stop releasing F award)

I can see some dates where the revenue avaiable seats went from 7 down to 2. I wonder if they are only clearing top elite member, or there is just enough demand where rich people simpy pay cash so KE prefers to keep them away from mileage pool to get more $$$.
