One time it was after two recounts… and it was the guy in 2D (exit row) who apparently had earbuds in and missed the whole drama in the front galley three feet away from him. And one time a young lady (likely college student) came to the FA at the front right after landing and asked when the flight would continue on to Fresno… (it was the last flight into RDM that night).
Ok the latter is kinda epic.
Always thought it would be fun to have a "plane roulette" and get on a random qx a/c.
As for the AS app doing this- they have done quite a few changes, but not sure they want to dedicate the r&d to set this up. Especially with how often policies can change...
