Would CO charge me for that?
If it is a non-voluntary standby there is no charge according to
CO Insider's post. If your flight has already been canceled then it would likely be no charge. If you showed up at the airport early because you saw the weather forecast for T-Storms later in the day and decided to be pro-active they would charge you since the original flight wasn't canceled yet.
