Is there an AA executive status?
 

When boarding as 2408 today at LAX the GA called after FC for boarding AA Executives level which she said was higher than Exec Plat. I do not see reference to this status on website. She then boarded Exec Plat

No, but they sometimes pre-board Concierge Key passengers before F and/or elite passengers. But do note that CK is not a status -- CK members are Executive Platinum.

There you go.

In my hundreds of boardings CKs have never been called to board. From what I can tell they are escorted up the card reader then allowed to board before anyone else. Of course a GA making up their own rules would be less than shocking.

There is a script that the GAs are supposed to read when they announce boarding that pops up on the computer. Obviously this one particular agent was just winging it.

;)Yet another employee spouting made up stories, sorry.

Maybe there were airline executives on your flight. :D ;)

Would they call them, or call them out? ;)

Perhaps you misremembered the order and they said the word executive when they called anyone with priority on there boarding pass afterm all the stats groups. From my 6 flights last week on 2 of the 6 I specifically heard them say something and anyone with priority on there boarding pass or our Executive card holders.

Even with that I was 1 of 2 that boarded after one announcement and the guy in front of me boarded and his BP did not say Priority. GA showed him that it didn't say it and showed him where it should be. She still allowed him to board. When I handed her mine she did point out I can follow instructions.

Just to let everyone know
BA will deny boarding to anyone not called yet to board
So refreshing to what happens here in the U.S.
It seems that most gate agents will basically allow everyone to board at the same time

that isn't remotely accurate. While some people do get to board with the wrong group because the GA is just lazy, it's far more common in my experience that the line-cutter is denied boarding and told to wait until their group is called.

Of course, they usually just take 1 step back and still clog up the boarding lanes, which still slows everyone down trying to get past them.

Yes, and it happens often.

Haha, perhaps ;).

I think that is probably the GA being inexperienced.

I've noticed this too. Even their outsourced handlers like ServisAir very strictly enforce the boarding order!

When I see that happen, I will quietly say "thanks for enforcing some order" to the agent, if I can do so without making a big deal.
