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.
Yah - from a smaller station, you'd probably need to basically have to get them to stop what they're doing and pay attention. Also, given that it was a CR7, assume it was SkyWest as the operator and the ground staff accordingly.
