Welcome to Standby travel in 2022 post-pandemic(?)
1- Shortages of pilots, flight attendants, ground personnel, etc. causing delays or cancellations.
2- Airlines have not fully returned their fleet into service; reducing flight choices.
3- Planes are thus flying near 100% severely reducing your chances of flying standby.
4- Airlines have reduced non-stop flights pushing passengers into multiple hub segments thus increasing your chances of being bumped mid-travel.
I worked for a semi-private airline; the pay was minimum wage with a small COVID premium, the draw was being able to fly standby on a number of popular airlines.
However, I found that even using the employee insider travel website, almost any flight I chose had a very low to no probability of snagging a seat (see above reasons).
I resigned.
