Are you sure about this? The AA website indicates check-in time matters for standby and upgrades. If I checked in 24 hours before flgiht time and you checked in at the airport 2 hours before, wouldn't I get the upgrade, if we are both PLT? Of course, there is some other misinformation in your post, so that does prove that AA employees are not always the best sources of information.
