I have seen some priority stand-by list for CX flights. For all the experts who also see the standby list:

1. What is Priority 27? I know Priority 11 is for the annual staff tix.
2. What I saw was the staff standby list. Does that list show the only the staff or the passengers as well?
3. I saw someone was displayed as J -> F. Was the staff already in J waiting to get to F?
4. Is it true that only director/executive level of staff can be waitlist to F? It's the first time I have heard about this. I assume all the staff can get to J only.
5. If the director/executive staff already got on J, would it still be higher priority than OWE in the op-up situation? I believe they definitely trial behind DMs and GOs.

This thread is a little deceiving, because at least some of it doesn't really have anything to do with MPC / Asia Miles and the standby list everyone on here would consider relevant.

1.) "1" has nothing to do with cash tickets you'd be buying...it refers to a typical form of staff ID ticket, and is a normal priority for staff. Again, this has nothing to do with standby as everyone on this forum thinks about it.
2.) Staff only
3.) Unsure, because I don't know what list you actually saw.
4.) Some Swire staff, pilots and individuals from other airlines / industry sources can also standby for F.
5.) Unsure.

I would think Directors/C level executives would trump DM/OWEs

Got it deciphered by a few other CX employees whom I know. It looks like there are 35 separate standby lists, with the Priority list 1, 7/8, 11, and 27. Some are actually for the elite members, mileage upgrades, and op-up lists.

Thank you for the tips.
