Eliminating J from buddy passes wouldn't really do all that much.
Not to mention that standby lists these days are fairly lengthy with active employees, especially with the frequency reductions these past few years. Buddy passes IME, don't get cleared in J as often as people make it seem. Sure, those Wednesday flights out of Dusseldorf you may see it, but out of AMS/CDG, good luck.
