At what point were you One and Two? Ten minutes before boarding or after others had started boarding?

The GAs have gotten better about issuing the UGs from the list as it is prior to boarding, rather than giving the seat to the person who has waited to board in the hopes that he/she moves up the list. In other words, after boarding starts, the list on the screen in meaningless.

This is a much fairer was of doing things, as you don't have to make the Sophie's Choice of O/H space or UG. As someone who used to snag many UGs by waiting, I still understand that this system is fairer.
