I saw the FAs do the 'list upgrade' on a different flight after the GA ran off the closed the door. I know the policy supposedly forbids this, but it looks like the FAs are following the process better than some GAs - and kudos to them for making the effort.

I'm sure all the Elites on board were furiously refreshing the pda site on their phones and knew they were not first on the list - so I'd hope no one suspected shenanigans.

Apparently Delta GAs, specifically at ATL, are re-writing the 'Shenanigans' manual - it's becoming quite prevalent over there.
