West Jet ONLY offers standby when a flight has already been paid for and when you travel the SAME day you can fly standby on an earlier flight for a $40 standby fee, the fee gets reversed back to you if you don't get on and end up taking your original flight.
Employees fly standby and it is really stressful sometimes. I've been almost stuck in lots of hot destinations which would warrant being fired if I didn't make it to work because of that.
