He didn't ask for the PNR's to be combined, but to be linked. Some carriers do in fact have the notion of linking PNR's. Sometimes, things like standby and upgrade waitlist priority will be based on the highest elite level among passengers on linked PNR's, just as they are for multiple passengers on the same PNR. Also, linked PNR's may reduce the chances of seat assignments being mysteriously "changed" for only one passenger when a seat is needed for some other reason, but this depends on how on the ball the GA is.
