Every airline I've worked for prohibitated this and considered it an abuse of priveleges with possible loss of non-rev benefits... And I think it's very easy for the gate agent to see the two seperate lisitngs.. Not sure if cancelling 24 hrs prior would make a difference on the gate agents screens??? But.......... it may work a few times, doubt it would work long term without someone noticing.
It is too easy to be true.. I'm sure people have tried, but there's a reason pilots/FA's aren't doing this on a regular basis...
