Jaws43... that's very interesting what happened to you. What I have seen on my last
few flights is that the boarding process is
going too fast. AS elites like myself board first with the children and the elderly..
all of sudden you see this "cattle drive" of
passengers running on trying to get overhead
space and seats.

It's worst when the flights late or getting
off late then it's like fast forward video.
That's why I try for First Class, either by
paying or upgrading. I turn around and
watch the race. (But that's not as bad as
the mad rush for the commuter train I take
to NYC daily. And the subways!)

I'm bracing for the next race this Friday when I fly to new Orleans for a long overdue
weekend of no business, all fun. It's on
United and going through Newark the "passenger race" on a friday will be very
fast. I hope they break up the boarding, but
I'm wearing comfortable shoes to be ready to
dash. Catman
