There's just no way to tell who is who.
Yes and no. Yes, you can't tell before the flight leaves, which I understand is what matters the most. But if you don't get on you can click on the flight and then the standby list and see the boarding priorities and make sure you didn't get left out of order in priority. Also with your pilot scenario, that is only on mainline flights, not on Comair, Compass or Mesaba. You fly DOH on all three. So even on Mesaba you go on as DOH at the same priority as a Mesaba pilot with DOH.
