I've lost track of how many times I've had to be waitlisted for an upgrade to J on TPAC and TATL flights, but I can tell you that I've never missed an upgrade in this context even at J1.
As an SM in paid PY, I wouldn't sweat it. You're literally at the top of the totem pole... unless you're wary of all those last minute walk-up J pax!

Anyone know what's the criteria for the 'Stand-by' button to show up in iOS and OLCI? 
I'm booked on Economy Flex for RapidAir routes often, seems to be 50/50 miss.
But what's also interesting is that I flew YVR-YYZ three weeks ago on Economy Reward and had the stand-by button show up.

If I didn't know which route/flight this was, I would've guessed several like FRAYYZ or YYZYVR for starters.

I've cleared as number 1 for 0 seats more often than I've failed to clear as 1 for 0.
SM in PY with 11 seats is not something I'd worry about at all

My understanding is that @canopus27 would prefer to avoid dealing with gate ops at BOM, based on his past experiences there (but I could be wrong).
But I agree 100%.

I'll certainly whine about flying PY TATL though. But not until after I'm certain I've flown PY
