Have you ever seen the general luggage check-in line at DTW @ 7AM?
Priority line saves you a good 20 minutes.
Again, for everyone saying FOs don't lose any benefits with Sky Priority, please explain how having less access to preferred seating does not degrade current benefits. And no, there is no way FOs can have access to preferred seating at time of purchase if Sky Priority is promised 'earlier access'. Just can't happen.
