Thanks for these responses. I have yet to connect with the seller, but as I have 2 relatives that are pilots, I know that you have to be extra careful when dealing with such passes. I've only used a buddy pass given to me by a relative. This situation with the 'companion pass' offer through a 'friend of a friend' was new to me so i wanted to investigate.

Should I decide to take the risk, whats the best way to 'be careful' when using the pass so as not to set off red flags that I purchased it?
