This may work in smaller airports, but where is the $ loyalty? Plus credit card holders get access to that line?

This is absolutely awful.
I think we will be lucky if they are just blocking....my guess is they will try to board and hope the gate agent is too overwhelemed to bother.

This dilution of 1K benefits really stinks, but being Philly based...yikes.
