Keep web based non revenue checkin

If you check in for non revenue travel online, you can see if you stand a chance of getting on the flight. My cousin works for another airline and I have to give her mom buddy passes because she cant get on her own daughters airline. The problem is other senior non revs show up and keep knocking her down the list. I commute to work and that would frustrate me not knowing if I will make it. I dont think its fare to allow non revs to walkup 30 minutes before the flight and skip a junior non rev after they've been sitting there all day...I DONT THINK SO!
