I’ve had some FO’s get frustrated with how long it’s taking and decided to bid for CLT and go there for a little while so they could fly a line then come back.

Long call waits are basically the same as a line everywhere, so you will be short call. Airport standby happens when you’re junior and they need it. There are limits to how much they can give you it.
