They're not going to tell someone wanting to buy a last minute first class ticket (lots of money) "sorry we're sold out. we did have a seat but there's this guy with 300 hrs and a temporary commercial certificate that our non subsidiary connection carrier needs to interview":rolleyes:

He might be "Added To First Class Standby List". When I interviewed at XJT, I was added to the FC standby list and actually got it. Still positive space... you're just the last to get FC after the last min pax, upgradeable elites and other upgrades.

Not at Continental or Delta

I know CAL has a separate "Must Ride" Category, no clue about Delta.
