Check in cut off is 30 min at smaller airports and 45 min at most larger airports (CLE included). If there is space in First after check in cutoff, why not process it as early as possible to get it done.

Flew IND-ORD a few weeks back. Number 1 (and _only_ name) on the UG list. 6 booked, only 5 checked in at the 30 minute mark. At T -29, called my name and handed me the BP for First. That's the way it should work.
