Had the same thing happen, I have told the agents "just spoke w dispatch we can leave with a full jet" They look at you like you are making it up.
I usually ask them specifically "do we have any non-revs, are they on board?"
Last time they didn't want to co-operate I told them we have a problem and walked off the plane into the jetway to call dispatch and load control.
Worked every time for me.
