[quote=airhead;8740]If that is not the reason, perhaps not all "checked in passengers for that specific flight" were present at the gate during boarding. If the flight is already running delayed, the agents don't have a whole lot of time to hunt other passengers. They can only go by that flight's list of passengers checked in or stand by. If you are checked in for another flight and not on the other list as stand by, then you will not be called up."

This would not have been the case on Southwest. If you are holding a confirmed reservation on a later flight and did not pay the "Anytime" or "Business Select" fare they will not allow standby.
