This may backfire and you might end up having to pay fees to rebook your ticket. Remember that the "flat tire" rule doesn't technically exist anymore.

Chances are the system wouldn't allow them to do this because the system is looking at your routing as being AAA to BBB, not AAA to CCC to BBB which is not the same routing which is required by the move up/standby rules.
