I use it, since all my flights this year has been wide-body only. Red carpet line tends to be a bit shorter.

Did just that on UA1 back in the summer, was late coming out of B18 RCC and by the time I get to the gate, They are just about to start Seating Area 2 boarding. The line was 3 wide so I can't even cut throught the crowd get to the red carpet line. I walk to the podium instead and shows the other gate agent my F boarding pass and she was nice enough to let me through from the side. Lots of dirty look and overheard something like "ain't he special"
