About 2 min later he calls me up and tells me I have one seat left (Shocker!) and I tell him again I'll take it.
Yep happened to me last week too. I had to reiterate three times "has it boarded full" until she understood. I was number 1 on the list with 0 seats available.
Hung around and I boarded last because second to last person who boarded was the last FC seat hanging out in the terminal
