Yeah, that was my argument with myself too... it wouldn't take 2 minutes to ask for the elite to board and then the rest of the passangers. They do earn it and should be able to board if they want to. I think that's where I stand on that issue. But it was the CRJ so it's not like there was a ton of people getting on.

And yes... the said passanger was hovering around the gate...and as soon as the door opened he jumped from Row 3 to the front of the aircraft to get off first. I guess sometimes you just gotta "go".
