I'm curious how AA's upgrade computers work, as I'm a relative newbie to flying them.

I've have an eVIP upgrade sponsored for me and right now my domestic segment is showing A3 availability (and it has had availability for several days). The international segment is C0. I'm assuming AA is not clearing the domestic segment because people typically don't want to burn an eVIP for only a domestic segment if the international segment does not clear. I have no status on AA currently.

My flight is tomorrow. I'm assuming if I do nothing the flights will remain waitlisted - my question is, will the domestic segment ever clear, and if so, when? I'm assuming if I do nothing the gate agent will ultimately clear me if there's still availability at departure time.

Thanks in advance...
