That sounds like a Z.E.D. ticket which are 100% standby, and as with all other airlines are way down on the totem pole when it comes to clearing standbys. There are times of the year when ZED travel is 100% the greatest and times when it is the worst. Holidays are usually a time when you consider buying a ticket instead of standby travel.
