Surely on 52Js they swing the jetway round after the F pax have disembarked, so that the Club pax can get off next?. Would show a masterful awareness of the right and proper order of disembarkation if they did.
But having only one jetway is pathetic, is it not? Surely it is much faster to have two? I've been on many aircraft where the F and J pax board through one door and the others simultaneously through another. The ideal seems to be SFO where they board F and J directly from the lounge (although I suppose that means Golds and Silvers who for some unearthly reason are in longhaul Y board through the least convenient door).
