Zone "Sky"
Anyone else get the Zone "Sky" on their boarding pass yesterday? It was in PHX.
They boarded pre-boarding, then first class, then "Sky" Zone (of which I was in), then Zone 1, 2, 3, 4.

New boarding process is taking into effect.
Pre boards
First class/business (using SP lane)
SKy Priority customers (using SP lane)
Zone 1 (using SP lane)
Zone 2 (general boarding lane)
ZOne 3 (general boarding lane)
the zone indicators PREM and SKY are only for identification during boarding and will not be used in announcements

Then they'll be embarrassed when they have to stand in the penalty box & not be able to board.

Seems like a stupid change but I had SKY today instead of Zone 1, at John Wayne (SNA)
But hey, I don't sit at C.E. Woolman's desk any day, so what do I know.

This is a total waste. Why make it more complicated? Zone 1 2 3 4 5... Easy to understand.
On a 50 seat regional jet today, I was first in line and my pass said SKY. They still called for premium passengers first...
Maybe it's growing pains..
Anyway, happy travels...
