I had a SA5X- status, he had a buddy pass. When all hope was lost, he was called and given a boarding pass. As a looked in disbelief, I asked the station chief why he was given a boarding pass.... she said "Mr Martinez has a higher priority than everyone else- granted the station chief did not know that I had talked to Mr Martinez and knew the exact back door deal he had. Just my 0.02c
