AA is very good at handling these cases, as you can be rebooked in Y and put standby in FC (DSR), and your position in the list is higher than anyone requesting upgrades.

IF the irop coding is done properly, you can still be flagged as a disrupted travel pax and the system would give them priority on the list, but not sure where that falls any more.
