Is this new? GA at SFO-LAS flight announced full flight and offered BG2 to those checking bags at gate. Seems like a reasonable carrot - 1) shouldn’t be much competition for overhead space from new BG2ers 2) boarding/disembarkation should be slightly faster. I guess current BG2er might be miffed by influx to their group (from an “exclusivity” standpoint).

If not new, pls move to appropriate thread - just first time I’ve heard it…
