Agents love making this stuff up. I wonder if they have breaks where they see who told the biggest whopper to a customer.
The criteria listed for the Airport Stand-By List only shows Status and Fare Class. It
does not say Time: "This standby list will clear after check-in is closed, and is based on Premier status and fare class." That is why I wonder. Then, if it is Time, is it the time you check in (or get moved to the Standby List from the Reservation Wiatlist if you have not checked in) or the time you originally waitlisted?
The Reservation Waitlist does say "All travelers on waitlisted Global Premier Upgrades, Regional Premier Upgrades and MileagePlus Upgrade Awards: Sorted by Premier status of the redeeming account, then fare class and then
time of request".

While better than nothing, don't expect it to give you a whole lot.
I walked away from it to fly other carriers. Particularly international flights. Best move I ever made.
I will make that decision when time comes. For now, focus on United. It is too close to not go for it.
