I had a situation in VPS where we were A1 (still had more flying to do on the trip) and the F/A was A3, and the gate denied her boarding to put a standby non-rev on. We brought it up with the gate and the agent threatened to pull our seat assignments if we didn't board immediately. Should have written her up...
Not sure what she was thinking by deciding to put a D1/D2/D3 ahead of an A-pass traveler,

It is not unheard of for an A3 to be denied boarding. A3's are not untouchable. I agree that it sucks that the company will A1 you to where they need you but then leave you at a disadvantage when trying to come home. That's just how they do it here. I'm not sure why there's any debate, they've been doing this for many years.
Take a little initiative and check in early as you can.
