There were actually two people on the standby list with the same abbreviation.

How did i miss this thread.
My wife shows up on the upgrade as HOE/S
God help me if I ever travel with one of my coworkers his last name is Fucillio and his first name is Kevin (dead serious on this). I just told him about that and he nearly fell on the floor laughing. I wonder if they would put that up on the board or if they have a screen cleaner that woudl block those names like the board has.

It may be the fastest upgrade he'll ever get! Tell him to book a flight and report back.

I can't post the abbreviation (for reasons which will be obvious), but I once was on a UA standby list with my good friend whose last name is Cunningham. You can probably guess which letter his first name starts with.
