(this was a small airport and the agent was very friendly. I was at the gate for the next flight and the DYKWIA was sharing his "Delta" knowledge with someone he knew who was on my flight LOL! He told his friend "they just make these announcements to make us board faster" If I had been the GA considering the way he treated her I would have gone back and found "bubba" and moved him to FC before giving the DYKWIA an upgrade! From the way he talked he's on this board somewhere.. he used the shena word, not something most of us would use without FT)
Your earlier post said that the GA had told him that FC had checked in full, not that it had boarded full. I have some sympathy for his strategy but not his attitude. And BTW I agree that the "FC has checked in full" are partly an attempt by GAs to get elites to board faster as the statement conveys almost no information regarding the likelihood of upgrades.
