Well, since a 4 year old thread has percolated to the time I'll jump in here:
I was flying CLT-LGA on AA's new 2 class CRJ-700s on a 600am flight on a Saturday. Needless to say there were not a lot of PAX in the boarding area, being early on a Saturday and all.
Anyway, the FA announced that all "EXP and PLT are now invited to board." I was the first one to approach the gate with a BP for 1st. She looked at my BP for a second and said "Crap, this flight has a 1st class section." She grabbed the mic and announced 1st class may now board. I laughed all the way down the ramp.
