I would appreciate being advised in advance of a standby callout as long as I wasn't disturbed on a day off. I hated nothing more than the phone ringing at 6.01am calling me from standby for a 3 day trip, "oh and the flight departs in 75 minutes."
My old company did this very regularly when they knew of the roster change days in advance.
