Already had her working on the onboard piece and will keep an eye on flight. Thanks
Priority only comes into play in automated systems.

If the flight everyone wants is J1 and you get through to an agent first, it's yours.

This is where I wish they'd just zero out every flight and throw everyone on standby, disallowing any confirmed changes. That ensures everyone actually gets prioritized the way they "should" (per AC's implementation of the system), rather than first come first served (until it's full).
