DL will allow GM and higher to stand by for a flight where SDC seats are not available. Also, NRSAs can stand by for flights as well. What you see on the GIDS are those folks.
I've seen FOs and non-status fliers added to SB lists due to IROPs, VDBs and self-inflicted problems (i.e., missed flight).

In this scenario, I'm usually in the middle seat. Sometimes I get lucky, but often, when I'm cleared at the last minute, it's a middle seat.

There were a whole bunch of PMs in middle seats on BOS-ATL last night (2201).
