Really? A couple weeks ago I flew TED from PHX to SFO. They called red carpet boarding. I was standing in the back behind the crowd blocking the gate, expecting at least a few of them to move to board via the red carpet. No one moved, so I had the great pleasure to push right through the crowd going "Excuse me, excuse me -- coming through..." and parade down the red carpet. I was the only 1K on that flight.
