What we observed was the concierge and a non-rev (turned out to be an FA (when my AVOD broke I ended up sitting next to him) discussing whether he could sit in BF or not. They talked for well over a half-hour. All the while, BF and other customers came up and she basically ignored them. On the flight, she greeted one passenger--a gentleman that connected on VS from somewhere in Africa. Everyone else was completely ignored. With him, she was very helfpul, offering him directions to the PC at EWR and trying to get him to switch his VS number to a CO number lol.
to that. That said, I have received good, unsolicited service from concierges at LGW in the past.

I could be totally wrong, but wasn't it discussed on this forum that one of the main focuses of the concierges is to convert paid J passengers who do not use CO OnePass numbers over to CO?
