1/25 IAD-FLL I cleared but noticed we pushed back with 1 empty F on the seat map and visually confirmed, yet 10+ on WL. Felt bad for #1..

1/28 Return flight MIA-IAD, again noticed flight pushed back with 1 empty F and they didn't clear #1 once onboard, who was likely a GS based on how many I saw walking back to E+.

This is despite numerous gate agents over the years telling me to please board they will give me a new BP if I clear in those 50/50 situations...ha, sure. I've fortunately not found myself in the situation where I am #1 and we push back with 1 empty F, not sure what I would do other than laugh at my own luck perhaps. In that situation once onboard, is there anything #1 can do that doesn't qualify as DYKWIA to try to get their upgrade?
