If the GA gave the FA a boarding pass for the passenger this would definitely be the FAs fault. OTOH, I think it's not uncommon for the GA to simply not clear people in order to get the plane out more quickly. In that case there is nothing the FA can do (and you should "blame" the GA).

Interestingly, I've been UG'd on my last 4 flights. 3 at the window and 1 at the gate without any drama (I was #2 for 5 seats and was cleared before boarding).

All four flights have posted to my SM account, but NONE of them show "class flown" as RU. All four show the standard coach class (K/L/U) as both paid/flown.
