Board , then Pay!

Old concept!
People Express in the 1980s.
Just board then pay when you find a free seat.
I did Bruxcelles to New York in 1986.
Mind You we were allowed to use the main enterance.
Ahh
Now I recall: it was a 747 , so naturally the wing was to high for last minute " Runners".
Silly me.

I sometimes ask the Gate agent : " Is boarding complete or do we have any Runners? "
My concept of Runners is of-course towards the Gate, not the Holding Point!

Something New every day.

PS!
A quick improvised Speedbrake Test could solve this problem.

You All have fun now.
