No, they seemed to be individuals; one asked me if people were getting off. The only thing I noticed is that >10 people cleared standby, so I’m not sure if the gate agent accidentally gave away seats or what.
It did not appear to be the record that day, though — I overheard the gate agent exclaim that an AC flight he was trying to rebook another volunteer onto was oversold by 21.
