I wouldn't say the prior waitlist is irrelevant, because the time that you went on that waitlist is the time stampted on your record and carries over to the time you went on the active standby list. In other words, if two people of equal rank on an equal fare both were on the waitlist, and only one seat was available, the one who went on the waitlist first would get that seat -- even if the other person checked in at the airport earlier. So, there is a significant carryover from the waitlist to the airport standby list, once you are activated on it. What I said above was that it would be nice if for someone already on the waitlist, they were automatically activated on the active standby list when they checked in, rather than requiring an additional step that is not labelled very well at the kiosk.</font>
That's not my understanding. I've been under the belief and have been previously told that the waitlist and standby list are completely independent as to time.
UDH, clarrification?
