Oh, please. What are the consequences of this? (Hint: < 0)
Given a choice between I won't get on, because it will delay the plane an unacceptable fraction of a minute while the GA cuts me a BP, and I'll get on but might have to badger someone afterwards for credit, I'll take the latter. And the choice really is just that binary.
I've done this and there was no error or mistake, it was done deliberately by the GA as an absolute last minute standby, and was done with my full knowledge and acceptance. Also, I've never had a problem getting the BP cut at the destination gate. Mileage credit then rolls in automatically.
