I was trying to standby on an earlier flight SFO-DEN a couple months ago and cleared while they were still boarding Group 1. The GA told me that all standby passengers were required to check their bag. I argued that there would be plenty of space as I was going to board immediately and they were still on group 1. She thought a while then said she would call me up later. Of course, I had to admit defeat and let her check my bag
. It was either that or risk a seat in the last row of the plane, and still have my bag checked.
