5/5 afternoon & evening EXP barely 200k

DSM-PHX A319 - 6/20 with 1 available, saw it cleared about an hour before boarding so stopped paying attention. Boarding with lowly Group 1 (after FC, lol) and the scanner gave an extra beep and spit out a new boarding pass. GA told me I was upgraded, everyone ahead of me were in pairs and didn't want to split. Not sure how that's possible with 5 ahead of me, must have been one person seated in back with a companion on a different PNR and thus not on the list. No complaints from me except boarding after the rest of FC in the bulkhead row, but fortunately there was space in the front bins for me.

PHX-FAT CR7 - Upgraded at T100. Guy in front of me in the boarding line looked confused when the GA called "boarding first class", looked around and walked up to the scanner only to get buzzed out. Clearly hadn't heard about the new boarding groups, so he also had to slum it in Group 1 as I had earlier. Then right before the door closed he got a battlefield upgrade and moved to the front. No bin space for him though...
