Tonight one of our sim instructors was rostered to return home; as usual he was holding a Priority 1B (that's "ONE") ticket.
In my limited understanding of the situation, most (if not all) paying pax are Priority 4, with assorted senior staff and hangers-on at higher levels. Thus, a 1B ticket (with 43 J class seats) should give you a guaranteed boarding pass.
Apparently the "check-in chick" (and her supervisor) decided that since this instructor was merely "staff" they would not downgrade anyone for him, and so he is now back at the hotel writing his resignation letter...
What on earth does Priority ONE mean?!
Spineless tossers, the lot of 'em.
