Classic! Love it.

I made a flight earlier in the week which I was almost certain I wouldn't. At T-24 I was the only non-rev listed with 2 seats open. The morning of, a positive space non-rev as well as a higher priority non-rev (D1) showed up on the list with the flight showing oversold by 1. Then there were the oversales and a revenue standby. To top it off, the inbound was late. As it got closer to departure time, the D1 disappeared from the list then the positive space non-rev disappeared. They cleared the oversales and revenue standby and then I heard my name called. The gate agent said there was only 1 seat left in First (I listed for Y since it was a relatively short flight) and asked if I minded taking it? Twist my arm! I was the only non-rev to make it out of about a list of 10.
