No - aside from coming off as an entitled jerk holding up boarding if a flight that was running late, I know that UA would sometimes upgrade people after boarding was done but before they closed the door. In this case, they pulled up the stairs on the CR7 so quickly that once the door was shut, I didn’t bother. BIH is a microscopic outstation at this point so maybe it’s inexperience - but this is also the second time this year that UA has failed to CPU me once I swipe my boarding pass. Pretty frustrating that a ‘benefit’ seems to be based on whether the GA has properly set up the software / scanner to react appropriately.
