You are lucky you are flying tickets where the ticket number on your boarding pass matches what you booked. Tickets get reissued all the time! Minor SKCH? New ticket. Same day flight change? New ticket. IRROPs? New ticket. I’ve even had the remaining coupons on a ticket reissued by a different airline.

I don’t think it’s editing more so as redacting irrelevant personal information. No reason for a FQTV number to be shown. I also frequently redact my home address that prints on hotel folios.

why a BP is useful for reimbursement is another story. You could SDC or change the ticket five million ways after checkin and submit the original Bp and old receipt for reimbursement. This is all a hoax.
Fully agree! Lots of data in the barcode including full FQTV. People should also be more careful with tossing out old BP or leaving them on planes. I’ve found countless ones and now I have your FQTV and your name. If I was a bad person I could do a lot with that.
Companies that require BP submission are stuck in the dark ages in my opinion as it provides very little value. But I know there are a lot out there still.
