I'm not taking a stand on this as I can see both sides, and this really is in the minutiae category. But it's just amusing how often people use that word without, obviously, really knowing anything about the details.

Does anyone actually have a copy of AA's IDB procedure? I'd be shocked if GA's weren't given discretion to skip people on the list if IDBing them would create a significant burden for the airline, as is the case of attempting to split up a group of 27 children.
