Same. You're also junior to gate agents hired during the Regan administration, too.

Curious: what happens at AA when you list for an AA flight and then shortly before departure an IROP hits and you’re forced to change your listing to another flight. Do you keep your original “seniority” you had on the standby list for the TU flight or do you get forced to the bottom of the new flight you list for?
You can have the gate agents roll it over, or you can change to a D1 pass, but in the case of an IROP, you're probably hosed either way.
