3. Yes; inventory logic works the same. If there is inventory in a revenue class (such as I), you will buy the flight/it will ticket instantly
4. Since the system knows you're waitlisted, it'll clear automatically if inventory becomes available

Thanks for the responses! I do have a Cathay account and there's not redeemable award seats on my flights. Very few booked business seats at this stage though, so I'm hoping that bodes well.

If anyone knows the answers to my questions 2 or 5, would appreciate it!
