CO agents are still in the dark about this. To this day no one has given me an accurate answer! But my understanding is that even though it is a hard block, the wait list does not exist for the VS code share. And if they put you on a wait list, it will never be processed because there is no system assigned to process it (because it "doesn't exist."

I wrote to Business Taveller Magazine about this (with an abreviated version of my letter to CO). Here is what CO published in the mag in response:

"Mr. zrs70 didn't buy an upgradeable fare, so we could not upgrade him." (false: CO agents verified over and over that my fare was valid). "CO does not have a wait list for code-shares."

CO wrote me a letter assuring that these training would end these confusions. Obviously nothing has happened. This was two years ago. It really irks me that this issue is ongoing.
