The details of their flight is as follows. They were not able to board from Charlotte after attempting to four separate flights since they were on standby. I will be sending this experience to all the authorities, friends and acquaintances i can think of. Way to go US Airways! What a great way to treat elderly people and have them stuck with no additional necessities/clothes since you have provided an exemplary service by making sure that their luggage arrived promptly but left the passengers behind!

If they are traveling on standby on pass benefits, then you have no complaint, as most airlines use seniority to determine who makes the flight after all revenue standbys and anyone else with higher priority is cleared 1st. If the flight is full or oversold and volunteers are solicited no standbys will make the flight. The checked bags on a domestic flight will go no matter what as all bags are screened by TSA.
