I may be wrong but the DM/PM/GM will get the nod always before a PO even if the PO is still in the gate area. It may also be depending on diff GA's.
I've seen FOs get pulled from Y after they have boarded to be upgraded before they close up the gate. Has happened to one of my coworkers several times in the past few months.
