Until I hear otherwise, I am going to continue to lurk at the gate until the last moment. I do not care that some people are boarding and getting "pulled up front". That is great if they are, but it is not official DL policy. Like others here, I would prefer consistency as to what method is used. Quite frankly, I would prefer that everyone on the UG list ahead of me would board and leave me with the UG since I will wait to the bitter end if need be.
