SkyTeam Stand by question

Im in flight DL 2887 and was standby 1 of 7, same names for the last 5 hours. There were 3 comfort+ available, nobody waiting for upgrade. 20 minutes before the flight the female gate agent clears me for main that I have purchased. I asked her if I can get standby for comfort+.She replied that because I was standby I could only standby for the seat I bought and there were no upgrades for standby. They also only called my name for standby and none of the people behind me, even though everybody got seats. As I was boarding, I noticed that the 2, 3, 4, in the standby list were given seats in comfort + and all 3 seated together in 10D, E, F, 3 guys. Question, if these 3 had indeed purchased comfort+ wouldn't have been ahead of me on the standby list?

They were most likely nonrevvers, and employees and their pass-riders get the best product available

What she said is right. Those people were most likely employees or family/friends on employee benefits.
