I have such a situation this week. I will go to ticketing and ask to longcheck my bags and see what they say. Oh darn, I forgot I will have only carryon as I am cautious and did not want to risk the "Longcheck" would not work.
Well I have never heard the term "longcheck" before, but shortcheck is as old as my airline career (almost 34 years). Either way, we should check your bag through to the final destination (as long as there isn't a long layover), but because the bag checks print off the pnr, they will have to overide to get the final destination to print.

Oh, and Expert 7700, unless it has changed, we don't cancel return pnrs if the outbound leg is noshown.
