Just to clarify my earlier post. I don't have any problem with some of these fabrications that GA's have to make. They are usually done to avoid chaos among the people flying on that plane. I only meant to state that it happens, and that I have experienced it first-hand. Sometimes honesty may not be the best policy, particularly if gate panic and/or hostility needs to be avoided. But I agree, if the GA gets caught, then they have a much larger problem.
