Again they are only going to waitlist you for a flight = if your fare permits changes. I think they only board Gold members first = on international flights. Mark I say: Continental had no problem putting me on standby for several earlier = flights than the one I was ticketed for. I got the first EWR-CMH one for no = extra charge in early December.
