FWIW, the receiving GA have visibility to connecting passenger's flight information, and whether or not the other flight was at the gate. Also, that's why they rolled out the Mercedes tarmac transfer for GS and First Class passengers.

Informed them I was there and it was 20 min until departure. They said they had been paging me. I said I was in the GFL and my BP had to be scanned to enter the lounge so they knew where I was. Learned International First Class on UA would still get you removed from the flight and am now in the boarding area for international flights 60 min before departure even though most of the time I am waiting around to board with MX delays.

On the PMUA system, yes it would track you. I don't think that's the case for SHARES.
