It's annoying. I don't pay for F to be asked if I a) can read; b) understand the concept of boarding by group; c) know the difference between F and Y.

Do I need to wear a sign around my neck that says, "Yes, I am boarding appropriately. I am assigned seat xx"? Is it too much to ask that for my extra $500 that I be treated the same as all the other people boarding with F?

Maybe I am being too sensitive and should expect to be asked every 4 or 5 boardings. How often does this happen to you?

Yes its totally rude for a GA to assume someone is not ticketed in F without seeing a BP and making assumptions on personal appearance. I would have ripped the GA by saying "my BP reads F so why are you asking."?
