I just think the kind of the behavior is just embarrassing. On one hand, I like my priority privileges and the bottle of water that comes with the greeting.
Often, I'm kind of just relieved to be treated like a regular passenger with no real special treatment; I don't really want the unnecessary attention.
I guess some people just like it and they do anything for the attention.

Just tried WUH. As WUH doesn't have bridge in the international terminal, all flights are parked outport. For J/SL+ passengers they have a separate gate and a separate VIP bus with strict priority only enforcement (of course the VIP bus leaves the gate first )

My experience flying PVG-HKG (which is like probably 50% of my regional flights) is that there is almost always a GA who has that OWE/DM sign, and sends the OWE/DMs to board in parallel with the standard J/MPC line.

Both First. I remember a post in CX Secrets asking how many people can tag along a MPO member. I think a whole clan was tagging along one GR in that post but just one companion is certainly fine.

GR get worse... Dumped from J queue to PEY queue
SL is in J
Ruby, by OW rule, doesn't entitle to priority boarding... Only entitles to J class check-in counter

Previously, the four queues are
F/DM
J/GO, SL, GR
PEY
Y
Now it's
F/DM
J/GO, SL
PEY/GR
Y
It's more rational
