So we were both trying to get re-routed to avoid being stranded overnight @ SFO.

The one CSR said she couldn't confirm me and I had to wait on standby, while the other CSR confirmed them directly into SEA-LAX. We either both should have been confirmed at the onset, in which case I was first to request the re-route, or all put onto the standby list given that it all of us would've had to stay overnight and were in the same situation.
