My red-eye last night from SFO-EWR must have had 50 elites.

Why do they not stagger boarding the plane when there are that many elites?

The whole boarding was a total mess. There were at least 20 platinum elites much less throwing in gold and silver.

They should know how many elites are coming and plan accordingly. -1 for CO in my book. I understand the egalitarianism, but this just slowed the hell out of the boarding process.
