There are two waitlists - PA and PB. All 1K upgrades and all SWU upgrade requests go on PA. Mileage requests by sub-1Ks go on PB (unless the agent is particularly nice). Nobody clears off PB unless PA is empty.

The Departure Management list. When the flight opens for check-in, all upgrade requests get moved to the DM list, and the DM list is ordered by status, fare paid, and finally time on the DM list.
