Standby travel is not allowed on a capacity controlled award. The only exceptions are the same as for a discount fare ticket: If your flight will depart 30 minutes or more late or if you miss your flight by less than 2 hours.
Have you been denied stand-by with something between 15 and 30?

Over the years, I have grabbed several with 15. I would be curious if there is actually a number - Any input from our WN management lurkers?
