Im not too sure how the DL system work but on the UA side the downline station can put a flight into what we call gate control for a reason known to that station. This means seat assignments are given at the gate and the pax gets a DM or Departure Management card with the pax's appropriate Boarding Priority on it. Like Kristie said, its the same type of card a non-rev would recieve. My suggestion, call DL and ask about status of the flight or check the website. Otherwise when you get to the airport and to your assigned gate, IMMEDIATELY go to the gate agent and make yourself known and ask for your seat or status of getting a seat (in a respectable, non-demanding manner, of course). But again this is just on the UA side.
