I know. But I bought a bunch of $620 US-EU fares when DL threw down the flash sale last October. So I just booked them based on availability without thinking of GUC/RUC usage.

Just booked a JFK-LAX which cleared at booking and I waitlisted a LAX-JFK and booked into C+ (WU). Both flights for June on 757's.

It's been mixed for me -- mostly used between LAX and ATL or JFK. Mostly to the gate but the odd one has cleared in advance. I "wasted" two that were going to expire on LAX-SEA and back (as part of an LAX-SEA-AMS back when TCONs needed GUCs)

I am waitlisted on JFK-LAX on a Sunday evening in early May. Exactly one seat up front is gone according to the seat map.

I recently went through that scenario. J filled in the last week with purchased seats.
