If I use a status pass for them to get 50k for the trip, will this automatically un-waitlist them for biz class? There are Rs available.

Only reason I’m asking is would hate to waste a pass with it not doing anything for their upgrade.
With this being your first post, welcome to FT.

A status pass does not provide 50K status. Please see the wiki at the top of the thread for details on what status passes do and don't do.

Bottom line, it will not change their eUp window, although it's possible it will change their priority at the gate on the day of the flight.
