The *A status might play a role. As a United Premier Platinum, my waitlist cleared 8 days before. (without any notice mail)
My dad waitlisted before me, and using ANA miles hasn't cleared (same Z class).
That's good to know. I wish there was a little bit more transparency in knowing who gets cleared first.
