As others have said, probably flight crew that is qualified to fly jump seat. Had it happen to me and had the lounge agents confirm it.

Or they were bumped from another flight and initially put them on standby on the flight just in case

Connections , be nice to gate agents , make friends with them and you may be one of those 11th on lost one getting upgrade ahead of others :)

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
