It's really frustrating to check-in for the flight home with one standby and a few airport standby, then fly all day, get to the gate ready to go home and discover you are no longer on standby and 30 folks "checked-in" in front of you...
I'm not complaining about the rules, I'm not happy about the rules being implemented incorrectly or not followed. Yes, I'm watching it closely and I'll be submitting documentation. The sad part is management will consider it an isolated incident while I believe it is more systemic.
Of course, airlines can make you paranoid, so, anybody else noticing this?
I've never had this happen, do you have any more details of exactly what happened?
In in the interest of having all the bases covered, I'll note that when you're cleared for a seat you disappear from the checked-in list. (I'm talking about the standby list on the mobile site. From left to right, tab #1 is where all the nonrevs are listed but not necessarily checked in. Tab #2 is standbys that are checked in. And Tab #3 is standbys that are cleared for a seat. When you are cleared for a seat you disappear from #2 and appear in #3)
And like Baradium noted, even if your listing does get dropped somehow, when you get re-listed you'll be in the place in line where you belong according to priority code and DOH.
