Worked for Delta for 10 years, and flew standby a lot, including with the family of 5 when the boys were under 10 years old. They all thought that was the airlines worked, you waited until they called you name and sometimes you didn't get on. They were completely surprised the first time we were paying customers and had reserved seats.
Fortunately for us this was back between '95 and '05 when you could actually fly standby because most planes had empty seats on them.
