First class board before Zone 1. So even Zone 1 is of no priority in your definition.

Interestingly, I've been hearing a number of gate agents when announcing zone 1 boarding also board "any preferred members" at the same time, which I've taken to include Silver. Not 100%, but a decent percentage. As a current Silver, I've been boarding with Zone 1 if they make that announcement, Zone 2 if not.

I'd argue that Silver should be able to board with Zone 1. It's not like the upgrades are rolling on in for Silver; I've haven't gotten a single one this year. Of course, that may just be the segments I fly...

I agree with you on this. Let the SP board with the rest of the preferred members. I spent the first year of my business travel life as a SP on US Air and got no respect from the GA's. But don't despair, except for Zone 1 boarding life ain't much better for us CP's. Most of the segments I fly are RJ's with no FC seats so upgrades are not part of my CP perks.

Welcome to FlyerTalk, coswellnc

Oh wow, with so many segments annually, mostly on RJs, a true road warrior you certainly are!

I did get the opportunity to fly from CLE to CLT last week on a new E190. I say they should dump Mesa's and their stretch CJ's and mainline with the E190 completely. Nice BIG little plane. Very comfy.
