To me, if the OP was able to do OLCI and get a boarding pass, this indicates that at least at the time of the OLCI, everything was correct with the ticket and reservation. Something happened after than, which makes one wonder whether *Shenanigans* could have occurred here. I'm wondering whether the OP knows anything about those standbys: did they seem to know the GA, were they high tier elites or also displaced passengers who suffered from IROPs, did they seem to be nonrevs, etc.
