She said no, I would need to be confirmed in PS first and then I will be waitlisted for D1. Is this completely true?
I've been told the exact same thing as well. I believe what is supposed to happen is you get waitlisted for DPS. Hopefully, someone will clear out of DPS into D1 at T-24h, at which point you will clear into DPS. At that point, you should get waitlisted for D1. All that said, I have never actually seen it work like that, because I have always managed to find a flight where I can clear into DPS at booking.
