I think it's an old unwritten rule and some haven't gotten the memo it's not required yet.
However, I do believe assigned seating will be an issue.
Good thing we have tools at our disposal if need be
The story that I heard on the origination of “behind the wing” was well before my time here. I guess HK, taking care of his internal customers, had all non-revs pre-board by policy. Which is super cool! However, he asked that they sit behind the wing. That’s a great deal to be guaranteed to sit with your family on a non-rev and not rely on a friendly ops agent to hopefully let you on early. In that case, it might have been a fair ask. The story goes on that when GK took the helm, he ended the program very quickly. Now, we board last, by policy. However, the “behind the wing” had caught on in “the culture” and refused to die as it continued to be applied by ourselves to ourselves. It never had anything to do with DH (only non-rev) and policy no longer supports pre-board non-revs. Therefore, no deal. I’m not going behind the wing. It would be great if we didn’t hire mental lunatics to work the cabin.
