This does not seem correct to me, at least for DL. I SDC and/or stand-by for west-coast redeyes (or am switching to a flight earlier in the day) at least once a month. If you are on a 006 DL ticket stock, seek out a Delta desk and they should be able to fix it for you.
Sorry to hear this is happening to you.
