OR..

switch to UA 852 1 hour and 55 minutes later which has 80+ empty seats!
Not necessary true, normally Non-Rev will be boarded/assigned seats after all Rev standbys have been assigned seats. The OP question is really only pertinent if he is a nrsa. If OP is a Rev SB, then he has a small window, if GA allows, to request an e- seat that he wants when he is called to exchange his boarding pass. Of course this window may not exist if the GA allow the system to bulk assign all the SB because of the large number of standbys and there are a lot of empty seats.

OP original question is moot, because there are no aisle seats available, unless one happens to open up when he is exchanging his SB BP for a BP. There are 25 empty seats and all are middle including the one E+
