All this is buried in the FOM and DeltaNet. Helps to be married to a FA.
To add on here:
When you're J/S-ing on AA, (don't know about other airlines), DAL pilots are a D-6 priority, DAL F/As are a D-7 priority. Just because an F/A(s) shows up to the gate before a pilot DOES NOT mean they're to be boarded before the pilot(s). Knowing this and gently reminding the occasionally- forgetful gate agent may get you on the plane, and save you a hotel room!
