I prefer it, too, but it's the new world order. You like these changes.

It wasn't a question. You like these changes, or else.
I think the "Or Else" part will be interesting over the next 12 - 18 months. I was just having lunch with some of my colleagues that had returned from a business trip yesterday. They (3 of them, all 1Ks but not FT'ers) were complaining about the zoo that the red carpet boarding had turned into on their flight from IAD yesterday. I told them to just wait until their next trip in a couple weeks going through check-in and security. They had not heard about these new changes that we "will" like yet.

We have 7 1K's and 4 EXP's on my floor of the office. My director (EXP) had been trying to convince most of the 1Ks that we should switch for several years. I think he may finally succeed this year, thanks to the new UA.
