Since you called the CS, I just want to be sure you are referring to sameday standby not Confirmed Seat Change.
The agent should give you a priority standby ticket instead of change the seat for you.
Clearing the standby will mostly likely the last min (or last 15 mins or so) or before the gate close.

And you are right, if you are asking for standby not to confirm, they should be re-trained. Pls e-mail AA, thanks.
