Wow if this is the case I guess the mileage waitlist really is lame.
Unless things have changed recently, this is from personal experience. Others have posted similar stories. You should have no problem with OLCI on any segment without a waitlist. According to CO, a series o waitlist (mileage upgrade) is void at the 24 hour mark if it hasn't cleared. The lame part is that EUA has a problem running against a segment with a waitlist - similar to OLCI, I guess. Then again, there shouldn't be any upgrade inventory at the 24 hour mark if you haven't cleared (but there could be timing issues). I also don't really understand what happens at the 5 and 3 day windows (plat and gold) if there are pending mileage upgrade waitlists. If I were plat, I'd wonder whether to cancel at the 5 day mark.
