Here is what I have from the PSS Update from February:
Vacation pass for co-workers & retirees SA0V
Leisure for co-workers SA1P
Leisure for retirees SA2R
Unaccompanied eligible riders traveling on vacation pass SA3V
Unaccompanied eligible riders traveling on leisure pass SA4P
Adult children on buddy pass SA4P
Express carrier eligible pass riders SA5X
Extended family on buddy pass SA6F
Regular buddy pass SA7U
Service charge waived pass SA9W
[PS/SA][#][Letter][YEAR]
Example: PS5B05 Employee on business travel 2005 Travel Date
Example: SA1P90 Employee leisure travel 1990 Travel Date
PS = Positive Space
SA = Space Available
0-9 Highest to lowest priority
B - Business
E - Emergency
V - Vacation
P - Personal/Leisure
R - Retiree
S - Temporary Short-Term Employee
X - Regional Partner (United Express)
A - Star Alliance Partner
F - Extended Family Buddy
U - Unaccompanied Regular Buddy
Z - Other Airline (ZED)
W - Service Charge Waived
Note: there are also four additional letter codes associated with PS deadhead travel (PS0) for crewmembers
A - Flight Attendant
C - Captain
F - First Officer
R - Associated with reserve FAs and FOs under certain DH circumstances
FYI, from what I understand, Express employees will show highest priority on Express (SA0X) but their regular lower priority on mainline. In addition, when you use employeeRES to list for flights, expanding the pass rider list will show you where your priority will fall on that list using various options and the priority codes for each person listed.
