Standby is indeed back...again with the noted restrictions. Unfortunately, it is impossible for even the very BEST CSA to keep up with EVERY policy revision that has been issued by Republic in the past few months as three airlines merged into one "Frontier" and standardized policy and procedures. The CSA may simply have not been informed of the policy revision due to vacation, days off, or just completing new hire training under old policies and procedures. Glad to hear you were taken care of by a stellar gate CSA.
