Figure that one out!
I think SHARES just adds the next higher sequence number anytime someone is checked-in, regardless if there are lower sequence numbers of people that were taken off or moved to another flight. I've had sequence numbers on Thurs evening ORD-DCA flights in the high 180s, even though the A320 flown only holds 144.
