I was confirmed on the flight 5 hours out the LAS flight and I was put standby on the LAX to LAS flight. I eventually still made the flight I was confirmed on 5 hours later I just had a tigther connection as they put me standby on the first flight I was availablef or to LAS.

I was just surprised she said LAX - San Diego - JFK was a leagal connection and she was trying to put me on it
