You should not get SDC for free unless you have UA gold status. You may occasionally get lucky with an agent on the phone or at the airport, but don't plan on it.

I can see the rationale for not giving a generous 24 hour SDC out to everyone. I do think they should loosen up the standby policy at the airport. If nothing else it can take some pressure off later flights.
