- Self proclaimed famous person arrives late from inbound flight.
- Gate agents process the flight (off loads self proclaimed famous person) in accordance with standard process/timeframes
- So called famous person doesn't get their "entitled' seat.
- So called famous person takes to social media to "right the wrong"
Next.

Late arrival of connecting flight . Seat given away and no room in the overhead. Typical tale of flying with United which is why I now allow very long connection times. Frequent travelers do this which is why Centurion lounges now have to impose a three hour maximum before departing flight.
Frequent travelers know this "service" policy. Infrequent travelers are amazed at this treatment since United caused the delay. I was astounded when I first encountered it.
We on FT know this is the United service. It just got highlighted to the Twitter world by someone whose tweets get noticed by a number of people.

The "Curb your Enthuiasm" episode that started with a missed flight and downgrade/reroute is one of my favorites. I watched it on an AA flight, too (and they did that to me once).
It isn't just UA that processes upgrades to F (including as late as T-10 or T-15 or whatever the published guidelines are for being at the gate per airline), so the only logical thing is to get rid of complimentary gate upgrades so that the passengers paying 3x to 5x more than a Basic fare can actually get their seat when they arrive at the gate.

I haven't flown UA in a while but if F fares are that cheap maybe I should (with appropriate layovers). On AA/DL I find first FC tickets on my routes at least 3x basic.
