The first flight has 85 seats. The second has only eight seats empty on the plane. Also in the past anytime that I have done a same day standby, the phone agent has been able to tell me exactly where I am on the list, and how many seats are available. This time they said specifically that they were not allowed to release that information. Also I have seen myself on the standby list. This time not only am I not on the standby list, but the standby list has completely disappeared. Even when I'm not doing same-day standby, when I check the upgrade list on my regular flights, I will see the standby list with other peoples names on it.

For those of you with a confirmed flights in the next 24 hours, take a look at the upgrade list and you will notice that the standbys have completely disappeared
