Oh, you mean the process that leads to all these posts saying "SMI/J cleared into 1A, yet that seat went out empty?!?!" No thanks.
I don't think it's a big deal to be at the boarding area 10 minutes before boarding. Allows you to (sometimes) actually pick your F seat if you see your name on the GDS under "cleared pax". I don't understand why PMCO will wait until 1/2 the plane has boarded to process final upgrades - just do it before boarding starts!
Misconnects are a different story, I had a UA GA come on board to move me up once (to PS C), that was nice
