How does standby priority work, ie as DM would I be higher on the standby list than someone (obviously not IRROP) who may be GM or PM on the standby list?
To clarify, I would change before check in to a confirmed MSP routing with the 4 hour layover. However if I don't have a chance to standby for the earlier DTW flight, I may not change my ticket anyways.
You may be able to do a SDC for free. I flew DTW/YYZ a few weeks ago and there was an option to change the flight and looked at doing it on the return and two of the flight were showing a $0 change fee, unfortunately the flight I wanted on was over $300 (was on a coach fare). Just before covid I was on a paid F DTW/YYZ and was able to SDC for free
