Or it could have been a joke: get him down here from 'up there' and I bet he will still be drunker than I am
Either way, I think it was definitely a flashforward, I doubt Kate and Jack knew each other (especially by name) or they would have known each other in episode 1 where he asks her to stitch his arm and where they find out each others names etc.
Also, Jack tells Kate how he uses his 'Gold Pass' - which he says they were given by the airline - to fly over the Pacific every Friday. I don't think both he and Kate would have these passes prior to the plane crash...
