So true - saw an arrogant **** push in front of an old couple recently and say that silver cards were allowed priority boarding. I'm pretty sure that it was only gold that had been mentioned for card status. Had I been slightly closer it would have been very tempting to point this out, tell him that i was gold and that the old folks were with me so would he please wait.
I didn't but when I went to the loo at the back of the plane I was pleased to see him and his little family sitting at the very back of a very full aircraft.
