New Waitlist, Upgrade, Standby Features on iOS Mobile App “May” 2020

Upgraded the AA app and the features says "The new 'Waitlist' includes both the upgrade and standby list. We'll show the upgrade list by the cabin you requested. And once your request clears, you'll see your name highlighted along with your new seat.'

Not flying yet, has anyone seen this?

This is not a new feature. It's been around for quite awhile (not sure exactly how long). I think what's new is that it's available earlier than before (used to only be available 4 hours prior to departure. Others that pay more attention will chime in with the details I'm sure.

i haven’t travelled since early March but I didn’t see what was described in their May release. Odd it wasn’t mentioned sooner in the features:

It is indeed a new feature. The lists have been updated to show the requests by cabin (rather than a single list for all cabins), and now include some types of requests they previously did not show and were only visible to the GA (for example, when a paying F passenger got bumped back to Y due to IROPS and is waiting for a seat back up front).

This is different! Excellent news and a welcome change.

I think the new "thing" is that it will show your seat assignment. I saw this being rolled out a few months back with gate monitors.

Upgrade/Standby Lists in App - when visible?

When do the upgrade and standby lists begin to display in the app?

Note though that it only shows people who have checked-in up to the point that you refresh it.
