PS0 bookings does not affect your standby travel. Why your title of this post is a "PS authority scam" if you don't know how system works? Do some research before you blow a gasket on public forum.

From my experience in PS and commuting on both UAX and mainline, its mainline that PS more crews. But I always figured that was because they have more crews per aircraft. Also, I've never heard or gotten PS from scheduling because I told them I wouldn't be able to make it. But that's probably because we have a very good and very generous commuter policy. So we just comply with that...or call in sick with our very good and very generous sick call policy. 
But summer 2011-2012, for ORD at least, if you called scheduling and told them you couldn't make it, they'd PS you.
Which was funny, all the mainline employees on BP8 passes aren't gonna make it, and the RJ trash is now getting PS'd to work. Al beit, that was a long time ago, and I'm sure UAL was charging XJT a premium for that.

I didn't ask for it, they just said hang on, then gave me a PNR.

Pretty much.

Actaully, I bet UA doesn't have any way to differentiate the type of DHs that UAX does and so UAX reports them all as UA paid. So, they have no issue whatsoever with giving a commuter positive space. As soon as this had an actual cost to the UAX carrier it would stop!!!!
But at that time, that was far from the case.
Hence me using the term "was" that you highlighted in red

Got an answer.
These were flight attendants in training, according to employees res, which is the reason for the future hire date. I guess their supervisor authorizes PS0B for travel home on days off. They could be returning home after interviews.
They did not show up on the crew list.

FAs in training are required to do line observation/working flights prior to graduation. They will "assist" the working crew at times during portions of their service. In order to do that they are PS0 not PS5 as they will almost always be an out-and-back flight...not overnight.
