Thanks for the reply. She did put me on, and I did end up as 2. She did comment that #1 and I were probably relieved to be getting an earlier flight, even though we were in middle seats (which I was). So I would assume he wasn't misplaced. I did peek at his BP and it didnt indicate 1k on the bottom.
I made it on, so Im not ungrateful, just curious how the process got sidestepped.
I was also on an M fare ticket, so it wasn't like a deep discount fare either.
