i've had the pleasure of having 2 op-ups and as my luck goes, they were both on short hops.

rno-sfo: "would mr. goalie please come to the podium..." (y was a mess and f was so wide open that it was me, a capt., f/o, and 4 f/a's from an earlier "broken" plane and going back to sfo)

lax-las: this was "advanced" and so advanced as i was doing a double hop (sfo-lax-las) and i checked in from home in sf for both segments. when i got to the gate at lax, i went up to the podium "to see what things looked like" and was told, "oh, there you are, i've been waiting for you-here you go" and i was handed an f bp.
