Thanks!

Lately ive been seeing a TON of SDSB SDSC and C code (that's flat tire code). Last week I had 3 Cs on leg one and 6 on leg too. Were there really that many flat tires that day or are they using the code now for something else?

After a certain percentage of seats are sold, the seat #s are not assigned.. Gives the gate agent some flexibility to seat families together, put Stretch in the emergency exit row, give the fraud service dog in its own seat, etc. The folks who weren't assigned (and can't choose) their seats online are HKs.

My unit has 2 relatively senior guys who commute SAT-ATL and they both have told me they've never spent a single night in an ATL hotel, nor have they ever not been able to get to work. That said, since they're both a bit senior they're likely able to bid more commutable trips than I'll get assigned.
