I never understand this. How do you not have a BP at hand immediately after boarding? We encountered on a recent DL flight where dude was sitting in one of our F seats and could not produce a BP. FA went through laborious process of checking with GA, etc., before concluding dude had poached. I could have told him that within the first 5 seconds!
