Has anyone ever done a standby for an MR? Pros? Cons? How does it work?

Hello,

Not sure I understand this question well, but I pressume you might refer to going standby on a "non" direct routing in order to gain more miles in the process.
PRO's you get more miles
CON's you are not guaranteed the connection or timing on the second part of trip. Might have to overnight in airport, etc.

I guess this might work out only in cases where you are very flexible.

If this is not what you are looking, please clarify.
