For example, tomorrow's YYC-YYZ AC134 [...] I can confirm that the eUpgrade will be waitlisted. AC agents have confirmed that R=0.
For what it's worth, the EF count for that flight is J7 C7 D6 Z4 P3 R0 Y9, which makes it kinda-surprising-but-not-totally-shocking that they didn't bother opening any late R-space.
