A-list means nothing

[krafty81]

I had an guy who said he was ALP board in front of the entire A group. His pass said "C21". That's not right is it?

No, he should have boarded at "A61" with the A-list and A-list preferred members that don't have A boarding passes. Certainly not in front of the Business Select.

Assuming this actually happened as reported (which is a big assumprion), there are some possible reasons... he could have been a through passenger that deboarded for some reason, or on a Business Select fare but didn't get an A1-15 position because of the infamous Southwest "glitch," or a Upgraded Boarding passenger on a flight with no BS ones, for example.
