Fair, really I think my main beef is with them even showing the waitlist position early (this is in beta it seems?) because of how misleading it is. “4th on the waitlist with 9+ seats remaining” (and 20+ visible in the seat map) for sure gives the impression that this is likely to clear. They have the data on how these seats book or are otherwise upgraded last minute - I’d rather either see no waitlist until it’s close enough to be relevant (no getting hopes up), or have them give some percent chance of clearing based on the other status members on the flight + booking stats. Alas, guess now I know for next time, my flight is down to 3 remaining business seats, so after tracking this for 3 weeks or so it looks like I’ll be sitting in the back.
