1PM Shuttle DCA-LGA out with nine pax. Pilot request that for weight and balance, move every one forward. Ergo, first class now almost full, coach empty save for one guy who figured he was good enough in row 6.
The cause of this was a delay that prompted the GAs to tell everyone who was on that 1PM to take the 2PM which was supposed to leave on time while the 1PM was still indefinite. Since we had a checked bag on the 1PM and if we took the 2PM would (from hard experiences on that route) likely need to wait for that 1PM anyhow, we decided to stay stuck. Since I could see on Flight Aware that the incoming's Mx was fixed and it was now in the air, I figured it would not be a very long delay. But, in the interim, most of the pax had changed to the 2PM. The amusing part was that the equipment for the 1PM arrived moments before the 2PM pushed back and it was hustled out of there so quickly that it arrived LGA before the 2PM.
