So it seems that if one does OLCI he cant get onto the list, so to play the game we would have to Check-in at a Kyosk, and get to the Airport early.

It also means if you're coming in from a connecting destination, you probably don't stand a chance either, since the oversell program would be initiated well after you had your boarding pass in-hand.

In other words, tt seems the op-up system is limited to "locals only".
