My primary contact for my tickets to XYZ event may be some customer relations person named Bob, but that doesn't mean I can't ask someone else what seats I should pick. I'm just not seeing the problem here...
The buddy pass I received a few years ago was on DL. I am sure UA is very similar. I was given a list of rules concerning buddy passes. One of those rules was do not discuss buddy passes in a public forum. Another was do not release seat availability, do not discuss it on the plane, do not argue with FA or GA, Don't drink too much, etc.
I no longer have that booklet, but I made all my contact with the employee , and he/she gave me the info I needed. The booklet I received was from DL and I can not find it on the internet. Again, I will never use a buddy pass, unless I was retired or was a student. S4 is low on the totem pole. UA may be different.
