29 people on standby and i was last..
I was on a flight from phx to den the other day on monday....there were 29 people standing by and i was last on the standby list. I was a list and i was a revenue passenger. About an hour or so before the flight they started to clear people and everyone was cleared except for me. I was the only one not cleared until everyone got on the plane and then I got the last seat. How come people were cleared gradually and not all at once after everyone has boarded? And what is the standby order for standby passengers? I checked in pretty early and was at the gate 2 hrs before the flight. I was using the a list standby option.
