Let's say I'm flying YYZ-YUL-YVR-SFO. YUL-YVR is confirmed, the other two are waitlisted.
Am I connecting passenger for YYZ-YUL? I was in that situation once, and they called my name at the gate, and then said "oh sorry, we didn't mean to call your name".

Sorry bro, beat ya to it.

Jane originated at A, so can she be a "connecting passenger"?

But even if it hadn't, she wouldn't be connecting. Again, the reasoning behind the connecting "rule" is so that someone doesn't feel ripped off. I.e. paying 6 credits to upgrade YYC-YVR, and then not being able to upgrade on the longer YVR-PHX flight, for only four credits more - that sort of thing.
