I'll be on that same flight (and am desperately hoping to get upgraded as I'm originating from SYD), so I might be lowering your chances of scoring the upgrade). However, I do have 15 eUps left that expire at the end of Feb and 3 nominee slots left, so if R>0 at T-7 for your Feb 17th flight, I'd be more than happy to sponsor you. (with the caveat that I wouldn't be able to submit the request at exactly T-168 hours since I think I'll already be in the air from SYD-YYZ at that exact time)
A quick technical question for everybody...
I have a friend who has me on his nominee list and has already sponsored a spot on the upgrade list for the my flight on the 11th. However, if I was going to take up the above poster on his generous offer, I would have to be deactivated from my friend's list before my actual flight to try for the upgrade on the way home. Would this result in me being removed from the waitlist on my outbound flight?

Hey is it possible to check where you are on the waitlist prior to 24hrs before dept? Do you need to be SE and get the info via a Concierge? They zeroed out the R space at t-7.5 for my upcoming flights and I am only E
Also I note that the flight to Eze is zeroed out but the same flight that routes via SCL has r space. Why would they offer R Space to SCL and not Eze? Is there anyway I can book to EZE but confirm the YYZ-SCL segment?

Generally not possible to find out (even for SEs). Sometimes the concierge will tell you or give a hint, but nothing official (in fact the official rule seems to prohibit it).

So the website that I was linked to on the first page no longer seems to be working... not showing my flights that I am taking or any of the other options that I was looking at... does that just mean they are sold out or is there some other issue at play? I look at YYZ-YVR on Feb 17 and get a bunch of 2 connection 3 airline flights... there should be like 4-5 direct flights.
