While waiting for an upgrade to be cleared at the gate last week, I was witness to a funny situation. The 2 GA were busy on clearing upgrades, while one of them suddenly asks: "what about the non-rev?"
So, the other agent calls one of the pax (the non-rev) who sat quietly and hand him a F BP (767-200). He grabs the BP and steps with haste to the gate. The GA who is closest to the gate sees his F BP and starts to shout at him: “You are not boarding F on jeans!" Embarrassed, the pax mumbles:" This is not jeans, it is corduroy..."
Finally, the other GA calls him back, tears his BP and gives him another one (I guess in Coach).
I thought it was a funny scene for Mon morning. The sad part is that I was the first who didn't get an upgrade on that flight…
