Interesting to learn about this.
Not only can SWUs be processed by GAs, if there are any on the waitlist and J space is available after the flight goes to gate control, they SHOULD be (that is, are supposed to be) processed by the GAs. This should be done prior to oping-up or VDBing people since it may eliminate the need for either.
