Flight was oversold so they couldn't confirm the pax in any seat until one person didn't show up in FC. Three others cleared the flight standby list in coach.
So, it is not only non-revs who show up on both lists. As I've reported, many times on the flights I'm on the same person appears on both lists and they aren't at the bottom of the upgrade list (which is where non-revs should appear).

Isn't that how it should work? I'm a PLAT on full paid Y fare, I arrive at airport early and ask to stand by for an earlier flight... shouldn't I be at the top of both lists?
