I'm a tiny bit surprised by the fact that there was customer feedback opposed to the recycling of boarding numbers. When I've had to make a last minute change, I was glad that someone out there was going to get an unexpectedly good boarding position.
The a-list check in process, like the EB process, is set to run at specific intervals prior to flight time.
Currently their is logic in place to never re-use those numbers. I am not aware of any effort to reserve abandoned a-list positions for last minute a-listers - but that doesn't mean it isn't being discussed.
Of course, we already have the boarding process of allowing any a-listers to board after the A boarding group that also helps to resolve this.
I'll happily pass along the suggestion!
