United Amends Family Pre-Board Policy
Jesse Tabit February 01, 2016
Families with young children flying with United Airlines are now able to board aircraft before other passengers once again as the company has reversed its four-year policy. In 2012, the company stopped allowing children to board early. The alteration to the pre-boarding rule, which will allow kids 2 years old and younger to board flights with their families before other flyers, will go into effect on Feb. 15.
“It takes a little bit of the stress out of the travel situation,” said Sandra Pineau-Boddison, United’s vice president of customers.

And goodbye to any overhead bin space for anyone NOT travelling with a child. You know, like every business traveler ever.
The problem is passengers abuse the system with 5 year olds etc and the Gate agents never enforce it, so in places like Orlando 50% of the aircraft attempts to pre- board.
So Jeff's commitment to screw over elites is upheld as a UA tradition going forward, Further crippling changes to the FFP and the Million Miler program can now only be a matter of months. Who needs to cater for those who buy the most tickets when you fill the planes anyway?
Booooo!
