Instead, I want to fly the identical Wednesday flight. Any chance I can do this standby?

I am GLD status.
To go home on Wed, you would need to change the ticket, pay the fees, etc.. standing by 24 hours in advance isn't an option. You could try Thurs am standby. And for this situation elite status doesn't matter.
