They will remove a “stand by” from a plane once the door is shut?
Sounds a bit fishy to me.

No. Never. 15 minutes prior and they give away your seat. PERIOD (I have 3 million flyer miles — I am an expert on this).

He is following his idology to the letter: First, lie.
If the luggage is on and the passenger is not.......buh-bye, @sshat.
It’s my understanding that once the door shuts, it stays shut.
Even if you’re late for the flight because the connecting flight (same airline) was late.
SOL.
This guy’s a liar.
They will. It happened to me. I flew on a "buddy pass" that I bought but which are given to airline employees to fly free on a standby basis. I was on a plane from St. Petersburg to Warsaw, thence to Frankfort and London. In Warasw I got bumped from a plane ready to take off because of my standby status, even though I'd been on the plane since St. Petersburg. Not only that, I had to wait on hard-plastic unupholstered banana seats 26 hours for the next flight to Frankfort. Not having a visa I could not leave the airport, Still, it was a mixed bag because along two legs of my journey, upon request, I got upgraded to business class.
