Now, on my return INTL leg, I am already cleared to J and my wife is buried on the list. Is that really the intent of the process? Give companions the same priority on outbound but treat them as non-status on the return? It seems they are letting IT drive the system rather than vice-versa. Or they just don’t care, which given all the other recent enhancements and rumored enhancements, is probably more likely.
