The next morning, we get a text saying the CP was cleared from waitlist and assigned the last C boarding number. Just figured that all's well that ends well and something odd happened the one time I didn't actually checkin the CP in advance. Doesn't really sound like a one-time oddity anymore.
Interesting. A couple of differences in our experience:
1) she was not flying as a CP — it was a paid ticket for both of us.
2) I did check us both in, and I know I saw her boarding position #.
We did get a text when the CS agent cleared her from the waitlist and she got the C position.
The stories are similar enough that they could have been caused by the same underlying fluke. You probably don’t remember if there was an equipment swap that day?
