AA then proceeded to read off the names of the people who could not board. The rest of us boarded the plane only to sit at the gate for several minutes. All of a sudden, the eleven came on the plane, took their seats and we took off. Of course, no announcement was made to explain this bizarre turn of events.

I fly RJs from PHX to Fresno and from PHX to Bakersfield. On these short flights the service is acceptable if you gate check your larger carryon.
