That was not the story. The GS in question purchased award tickets so his wife could accompany him through security, then canceled them. Repeatedly.
Via my MP account i bought tickets for her and she would check get ready to fly with me and when we where at the gate she would see how i was and she would go with me or just cancel the ticket . . . . i booked many tickets and many where never flown because she saw i was ok and where canceled and return to my account
