If only Delta hadn't chosen to retain its archaic computer system that popped you off the upgrade list once you boarded the plane and instead chose the NW system which maintained two separate lists for these different tasks. Oh, well.
Yes, of course, NW managed this SUPERBLY!!!
That said, the DL system absolutely maintains both lists! One time out of LAX I called out the GAs (nicely) when I held back boarding, as I was showing #1 on the UG monitor. When I inquired about an F seat, they asked my name and I was told that I was #4. I pointed to the screen showing #1. They said that wasn't the original list. I told them that I was told by DL corporate that boarding takes you off the list. The GAs said - - Here at LAX we don't do it THAT WAY!
