It's not booked as separate segments. Technically, in the computer, it's booked as a single segment with split seat assignments. While relatively complicated, the GAs who handle the milkruns are fairly used to dealing with it.

Doubt it. You'd probably crash Sabre by trying to do that.
In all seriousness, I'm not sure how that would be handled. Technically, you can't SDC to a later flight, because that would be a routing change (adding a stop to a direct flight). The computer would probably forbid it as a straight SDC, but a creative GA (which I gather there are many of in Southeast Alaska) could probably get around it...
