But during the twenty minutes we waited, the nine standby passengers on the plane lost their seats, and were replaced by nine other passengers. Does anyone have a clue as to why this would happen?
Hmmm.... According to the screens in the airport folks can be bumbed by others having a higher priority. So if you're (on Delta) a Medallion club member (or whatever it's called) you automatically top someone with less status than you. But I'm not sure if this is just for upgrades or standby also.
