Dec 96: booked CVG-PDX-SEA (don't remember why ) ... GA announced that, due to full pax load and headwinds, we would be making a technical stop in SLC to refuel ... I called to verify availability on the SLC-SEA flight, then asked the GA if -- presuming we pulled into a gate and didn't refuel on the ramp -- there was any way the crew would let me off to make the connection ... captain said ok, GA went ahead and booked it, and I got home about when I would have had the flight operated normally
