A tad bit melodramatic there RNR. Nothing is guaranteed in this industry, especially your ability to use your friend's benefits. Not even your own, hers.
Capacity (and thus the ability to fly stand-by) changes with demand. It's just one of those things we accept in order to fly for free.
So, if you only come away from this with one thing, remember....the ability to fly for free (or reduced rate) is a benefit, not a right, especially for non-employees.
