With only one agent working most flights, I can't think of any time one agent wasn't able to get all the duties done and dispatch the flight on-time.

Anyway, I left SFO this morning on a 763 that boarded through 1L - wasn't pleasant. It was at a gate with dual bridges to boot! There was also a priority boarding lane for First, Business and elite members that wasn't being used. Was marked with a sign and a red carpet mat but no agent.
