Yep, though it's not a standby boarding pass as such any more, it's a registration card. But don't panic if you get one of these, sometimes you'll have already been loaded onto the flight by the time you see the c/in agent, so it doesn't always mean bad news
These days you stay landside until about T-40 now.
