@Lospiliotos, there is nothing like sby boarding pass, they shue you away from the check in counters like you got plague, telling you they have no clue if there is space until they check in the very last commercial pax. Then they round you up for the good or bad news 50 min before departure time.
I experienced the sby boarding pass travelling on Virgin and i think Delta as well. I think it is a pretty neat idea. At least there seems to be some effort to get you on board, rather than being treated like a big bother.
