Last summer I was first fly and was assigned an afternoon stby. I showed at the airport and called to check in and ask about the first fly stuff. The scheduler offered to replace me and said I was assigned the stby by mistake, and that the only way first fly would get a stby was if they ran out of reserves not on first fly. Side note I declined and got sent to EWR (dh) and spent two days sitting hotel stby there. I should have let her replace me.
Then today it seems the rules have changed. No more FF for me, lots of stbys in Dec.
