Because there were only a feew people that boarded the flight when she did not see anyone else in the gate area she left the gate and went to the aircraft early.You may be an airline employee or ex employee but I'm a controller and know the FAA regs all to well.
Being a controller has no bearing on whether you know the rules for what an airline's boarding policy is. This is not an FAA regulation but a policy that differs between airlines.

Your logic here makes no sense whatsoever. The reason they break complaints down per thousand is because airlines like DL and WN have such huge boarding numbers that this way it can be graded equally among airlines. If you don't understand this, that is a scary thought.

The only people this will be a great day for is the upper management. Stockholders and the U.S. consumers will benefit greatly by paying much more on other airlines caused by a HUGE loss of available seats.

I hope you do and best of luck in this endeavor!
