4. Process the J non rev
5. Process the Y non revs and J non revs that didn't make J
1 and 2 is automated, and processed 5 minutes after check in cut off time.
3 I think is a manual process, with the selectees picked by DCS based on the usual. I think this is manual because maybe misconnects etc. But at that point I think passengers that missed cut off time are unassigned their seats.
But the above is also why YBYL. The GA may only know very late that a CKIN passenger actually won't show up. And how you end up with empty J/Y seats.
4 and 5 I think is done automatically if no #3 .
I've seen 3/4/5 screwed with on many occasions. Most recently in DCA last month, where the J list was empty, and Y was oversold with non-revs on the list. No OpUps given, and the J cabin went out with Y non-revs.
