He actually showed us his manifest and his handheld device telling us what each of the codes/symbol meant. I do recall seeing some letters that resembled booking classes but he explained that they meant something else, like connections, etc. Could that have been what you saw? He also said that the paperwork they get is often not accurate and handwritten by the gate agent and tell future FAs to look at their tablet if in doubt.
I saw two lists this morning. One page showed a list of all pax, name, and a very specific column of 'fare'. I think it's definitely the fare class because I saw mine was 'I' which was exactly what I got, and a couple of 'U's, people do burn a lot of miles on AA now. However, another page is the typical one, where each box indicated pax connections, coming from what gate, status. Yes, different letters like 'E', 'B' are on this page. However, I didn't see that first page ever before, until this year, and of course I just saw it this morning.
