Revenue standbys can and most likely are pax who missed the flight they were going on originally and got rolled over. They can also be pax who want to travel earlier than their original flight as well.

I just returned from a non-reving adventure. I leave you with the following.
We checked bags under 6 different names. We all got bumped off the first flight, and only 3 people made the second flight. It seems that all bags made it to our destination and through our connection on the first flight.
When non-reving, you're not in control. A BUNCH of unlisted A12's showed up at the gate, as well as some "revenue-standby's" whatever that is. Everything looked GREAT 24 hours prior and really even 12 hours. I have no idea where the 6 FA going to training came from, how the revenue standby's magically appeared, but we ran out of options very quickly.
The wife ended up buying an allegiant ticket. I'm paying for that in more ways than one.

Sometimes. Luck is mostly the determining factor because you will always have people miss flights as long as an airline is in existence.
My secret to most likely success is listing on kick off flights. Even if you don’t get a seat, you roll ahead of the next unlucky group of nonrevs.

There is a limit but I’m not sure the cutoff. First try putting the year in when inputting the the date, i.e. 11MAY18. If that doesn’t work, you can look at your sequences for any month by going through your activity sheets in ePays.
