Curious to know how the standby list is formed. Was stuck in TPA yesterday the day after Daytona, plus with east coast flights screwed up because of the snow and a big group of stand-by passengers wanting to get from tampa to... anyhere, MEM, DTW, MSP. everything was oversold. I was on a rock bottom ticket that I somehow managed to scrape off of orbitz less than 7 days advance, and still managed to get a seat on the first flight out (they only called up 4 names and there were maybe a dozen waiting). I was surprised. I have about 25k miles flown/booked with them in the previous and next month or so... does that have anything to do w/ it? I would have imagined anyone w/ a higher fare would have gotten a seat ahead of me... Just wondering if anyone knows the process. Thanks.
