While small, it does happen.
My story was commute from BOS to JFK....CAVU up/down entire East coast with no delays, IROPS, etc. Night prior shows flight wide open. The next morning, the flight that was two flights before my planned was a RJ....they ended up CNX' for MX, so all PAX got rolled to the next flight (which was my primary). I show up at airport and not a single non-rev got on. Called Scheds and they put me on my backup PS without even blinking an eye and I still made my sign in on time.
Glad the PS option is there.
