To be quite honest, I find it silly that someone is complaining that they weren't able to board at A19 for a 35 minute flight....
It's not about missing a great seat (there were quite a few through passengers). It's not about leaving early - I'm all for that. Whether it was disrespect, disregard or carelessness, it effectively took away one of the few perks of having A-list status.
I wasn't expecting sympathy just trying to learn if this is a widespread practice. It was the first time I had seen this happen.
