As they were lining up everyone to board he goes up to the GA and says I'm first class where do I go? She points to Group 1. He says no I'm first class I should be ahead of these people. Oh and my friend isn't here yet and he should be boarding with me, or he should get to cut the line too if I'm already on the plane.
Worst part was the gate agent let him go ahead of Group 1, after GS/1K.
Well 2 hours later we deplane due to a mechanical, flight is kicked to the next day.
Had one more run in with him in Houston. He stops at the bottom of the escalator to baggage, blocking everyone behind him to ask the TSA agent where to go for rental cars.
Older man, bit confused. I would cut him a break rather than DYKWIA him
