Correct

I have to say that the experience makes me a little leery of doing standby again. For example, suppose I'm checking the seat map on my iPhone for the standby flight and it's clear there are only terrible E- seats to be had. I'd ordinarily just stay in the RCC -- oops, the UC -- and wait until my confirmed flight. But if it's that easy for an agent to mess it up so badly when I don't show when my name is called, I'm not sure....
