In SFO yesterday waiting for my 7:00 am flight to DEN to board (my UDU had already cleared, so I was standing back watching the Red Carpet fun...)
I had not looked at the upgrade board yet, and then I heard the GA started looking for a passenger for their upgrade: 'P Lum, if you are in the boarding area please see me at the podium' etc. She announced this a few times, finally, 'last call for P Lum'.
It was early and my brain was not yet at full steam, so when I moved to where I could see the upgrade monitor, I fully expected to see P/LUM.
Of course, that is not the way the system works... So when I saw the name I had to chuckle when I saw LUM/P.
