If the GA didn't pipe up to inform of a no-show, then what?
And "They said yes" as in the GA who scanned your BP?

If someone no-showed for J, how can J be considered boarded full when the question is asked and answered within less than five seconds (assuming a short time lag between your posed question, the scanning of your BP, and the other GA saying there was a no-show)?
