Maybe it's just in order of ticket purchase for the flight? I mean if you are the first one to purchase a ticket for a given flight you get sequence 1...

Hmm interesting so you've found the strange situation too. I somehow doubt it's the sequence of ticket-purchasing, because I remember buying a ticket two weeks before the flight, and when I got my BP my BN was 80, but the flight was completely full, so I can't imagine 300 people buying their tickets at the last minute.

For me so far I've never gone below 50.
