I thought YBYL was dead?
Apparently YBYL is still the name of the game in LAX.
Boarded DL101 today to ATL. No announcements were made in the gate house and I boarded number 2 on the first class upgrade list. I kept an eye on the list just in case somebody no-showed. Sure enough, the 2 names below me got upgraded into 5A and 5D. Went out to talk to the gate agent who made it seem like my fault that I boarded the plane when called. He claims he made an announcement, but had that happened, I wouldn't have boarded.
I've had agents come down with battlefield upgrades all the time and thought it was the new Delta policy to clear the upgrade list in order based on what I read here.. What's up with this dude?
