Were they scamming a seat? Did they maybe buy a non-rev ticket off of ebay or something?
OK let me get this out of the way -

I
LOATH people like this - both 'non rev' and
ESPECIALLY SCUMBAGS who 'sell off' their buddy passes - the 'buddy pass rider' (who shouldn't even have got as far as MSP as being a holiday, BP's are embargoed and non-rev travel is discouraged due to high loads, and our gate agents need to be able to focus on our regular pax even more!)
*sighs* Well, the 'good news' is, I hope whomever 'sold' the pass got enough money for a regular ticket, because that's the ONLY way they'll ever fly again.
