Really? The only time i ever even used an e500, I went for standby expecting E-, but when I got my BP for the new flight, the GA said "oh look, you even made first!" I hadn't made any motion to re-submit the ug nor had i mentioned it to the GA, so I just assumed it carried over.

I know, it's such a hard balance to strike. Most of the time they practically hand the BP to the person boarding the flight... I can only imagine the blank look when they had over a BP with 26E and you hand it back.
