95% of these hotel standbys will not get filled. Only time they get filled is when guys actually pick them up. Otherwise scheduling never assigns anyone these hotel standbys. With Fxcal closed time feature you can follow along. When it closes out, check the standby, you'll see it won't be there anymore.
Easier than putting in a bunch of airport STBYs. Cover 4 days at a time with a hotel standby, less key strokes.
