Who knows, maybe this guy had more than 166K Q miles up to this point this year and should have got the seat before me?
Amonsgt the criteria used as tie-breakers between pax competing for J seats: status, fare paid, cnx from downstream station, check-in time, dessert preferences and most importantly, ability to quote manager names from AC org chart on travel-related IBBs.
