I have been leap-frogged this way.

I was #1 on the UG list and someone lower went up to the gate, pulled out a credit card, and somehow was sitting in FC. At the time, I was fuming!!!!! This is the first time I've seen an explanation for what happened, but it makes sense to explain what I experienced.
