Reading OP's message, I think he was stating that he purchased a Q fare. Not that he thought availability was coming out of Q.
And I thought standby had to be allowed on the original fare to qualify for CFC with certain exceptions. So the OP would have to look at his fare rules to see if standby was allowed.
