Three pre-boardings have been done incorrectly (primarily with GS and 1K called within a second of each other).
Anybody else noticing a change?
100% on boarding for me, though it's almost annoying because they call GS to board, and then *after* you scan they seem to realize that you're GS and thank you for being so. Totally unnecessary in any case. I guess worse is in the UC's where it pops up for them after you scan, and if you don't pause and wait, you have this awkward scenario of someone softly shouting after you "and thank you for being GS!" as you walk off!
on-board recognition on domestic flights has been pretty rare in my experience, happens from time to time, but I don't expect it.
I'm also really not fussed. I want the status to be recognized and valuable when it matters - IRROPS, upgrades, etc. In the normal course of events I probably prefer not to have someone come up to me and thank me for being GS!
