At what point does it make sense to call and convert an I/IN to R? I'm guessing before you get notified that you didn't automatically clear the upgrade?

I/IN convert to R 24h before departure automatically IME.

Ahhh, but do X/XN with request to be upgraded to I/IN that don't automatically clear also automatically become R? I'm guessing not?

If you have I/IN, why would you want to convert it to R?

"I/IN requested" convert to R 24h before departure automatically IME.

FTFY

Then they must have screwed up my Plan B reservation, even though it appeared as if they had put it together correctly...

Never says you need to be GS.
Just says you go in between PR1-PR2.

In essence no real changes.

Conveniently (not!), since I referred to line 88 (I think that's the line referenced in the Plan B DD page), all they printed and showed me were lines in the 80s and 90s... Seems the not-so-nice agent (who I still don't understand why she had it out for me after her colleague confirmed me in PR-1... perhaps it was my kippah!) decided to focus on what would force me onto PR-2 (and thus not get seated in BC) instead of reading the whole gg standby document. Next time this happens (which hopefully it doesn't), I will try to get a snapshot of the document... (they were just so perturbed that I knew about it and the lines altogether!)
