I was just reading the stories today which say that WN is threatening to sue boardfirst.com and the other sites which -- for a fee -- will secure you an "A" boarding pass 24-hours in advance. The stories indicate that boardfirst customers can then pick up their actual boarding passes at the airport.

That got me thinking: if I'm "on the road" and don't have access to a printer 24 hours in advance, can I ask a friend to do it for me (it takes like 20 seconds) and then get my A pass at the airport? How does all this work if you don't actually print the boarding pass at your computer when you log on?

Thanks!
