Purpose of boarding card 'check' at aircraft door
This got me thinking on a recent flight.
What's the purpose of the CC checking pax's boarding passes at the aircraft door? I think most pax are intelligent enough to find their seat number and row without a vague arm gesture from the cabin crew upon boarding? Regardless of seat number/row, its the same gesture 'oh row 'x' down there and left' or 'oh row 'z' down there and right'.
