And this is why the GA went to the wall on getting them boarded. She messed up, forgot 4 crew were coming and let the whole plane board. Obviously, she should have held 4 seats before general boarding. Now it was not just UA Ops that messed up, it was HER butt on the line.
And UA corporate culture being what it's been...that's how we got here.
