Maybe I missed your sarcasm lol

Sorry Da Magic, I missed your point as well.

Perhaps you mean "flow back" and not "flow through"?

I guess I don't know what they call it at AA or AE, but that's what they call it at places I worked.

No it is not the equivalent of "reciprocal". It may be just a Delta term, but it means "getting a seat in the back cause there's more than one pilot trying to get the JS" Thereby, JS "Flow Through" is much easier to say i guess, so the term at Delta was adopted.

I stand corrected. It's actually called a JS "Flow Back". Does that help at all?

Yes, you are correct. I was unable to "Flow Back" on the Eagle flight. Sorry for the confusion.

Wow. It only took 3 pages for your peers to figure out what you meant... No wonder you didn't get on.

"Yah mon, no problem" (goes to bathroom, smokes a cigarette, talks to the gate agent, eats lunch, then finally comes with a GPU)

I'm checking into Silver now, but just a few days ago was told at their counter in TCB that I had to have an electronic JS booking before they could take me. I've asked on the forum about United (Silver) JS booking online and am told you can not. Just keeps getting better
