I have never seen this done before and thought it was pretty clever. Though I laughed when I thought of adding even more people to the premier cattle call - wondered if this was to get the flight out on time or just policy now.
Anyone else see this in the field or other creative gate management techniques?
That's SOP on Virgin America - maybe the gate agent stole the idea!
