Now I know you might say just board in an earlier zone, that's fine and all but last year a captain and I did that and were told you have to wait and board in your zone. They refused us. With all these passengers standing around looking at us. We talked to his manager and the end result, board in your zone.
Deadheading crew members are permitted to board in zone 1 per Delta policy. Your agent was wrong as they often are.
