Yup, him and I are both Skywesters. Personally, I wonder if the number of buddy passes we get are based on segments or you can have connections on a single pass. I know NW (and I think DL) had one-way passes that could have as many connections as needed, while a buddy pass from my home airport to ORD-IAD-MAD and back would use 6 of our 24 segments right away.
