The flip side, if you list for the second flight and are able to get to the first flight, your checkin time will possibly put you below some other nonrevs and you'll miss it anyway.
Usually I'll list for the second flight and hope we get there early enough to make a dash for the first...I've had mixed results with that but it sucks having your PNR canceled if you miss the first flight and can't get to the agent in time.

It’s a losing battle really. Mainline is a major offender and I have just come to accept that you can’t really base what flight to list for based on the list. About all I use it for is jumpseat backup protection.
Flights I have been convinced I wouldn’t get on due to being way oversold I do and ones I feel should be an easy go end up being a nail biter. Just list for the flight you need or want and go for it. That’s how I do it. So far so good.

All you have to do is go to the gate for the first flight, tell the agent you're listed on the second flight, and they will simply pull the PNR over to the first flight. Takes them about 30 seconds. I do it all the time. It's normal stuff.
