Related question: If the computer shows 136 passengers onboard, and the head count says 137, why does the plane leave the gate leaving a stand-by passenger behind?
Is a spinner any newscaster other than O'Reilly?

And unsure diff from head count vs. computer. If an empty seat AND the stand by has full fare or paid the diff, I would think they would board the pax -- unless plane is running late and dont want to take the extra time.
