I fly Standby 98% of the time. Sometimes someone buys a ticket via work otherwise I fly on standby. What it means is that you do NOT have an assigned seat. When you check in you may be assigned because they know that they have seats available. If it is tight they will assign the seat to you at the gate. If you have to make a plane change or two the problem gets bigger. Only one change usually not a prob.
