? ? ?Roger on the FOCMKEAS Amazon vendor below.? I have one better than that.? A while back, all of us standby passengers were staring at the priority monitor display at an Alaska Airlines gate.? The rank order of standby passengers is listed by the first three letters of the (hopeful) passenger's last name with a space followed by the first initial of his or her first name.

? ? ?As a Japanese gentleman checked in, we all did a double take.? It turns out that his name was Ueno Fukiyama (or at least that's how it was printed out in Romaji in ALL CAPS.)? I commented to my XYL: "Well, that's a little hostile!"? It turned out that there were enough open seats for everybody to get on board, so all's well that ended well.
