Remember that anything that CO writes can usually be intepreted several ways. It would not be unusual for this to be another typo.
Second, no one has ANY idea of where you would be on a waitlist for FC since no algorithm has ever beeen released. I have seen this cause countless shouting matches at gates.
Let's say you are on a "waitlist" for upgrade seats using miles from your OnePass account. Where on the list are you? Before or Behind people who are using miles for free FC tickets and can't get a FC seat one-way? Before or Behind elite memeber looking for EUA upgrades? Before or Behind an international traveller in BF who can't get a confimed FC seat for part of his journey? There are many other possibilites but you get the idea.
IMO, anyone who actually gets an upgrade from a "waitlist" is one lucky person.
