The fee can also vary based on demand. I've seen the EML fee change over time for the same flight I was booked on.

The airlines who want the priority lines effectively lease the space for them from the airports. The airlines are also generally responsible for paying the agents who man them and control access.

I saw the line at EWR yesterday. It is the same as the EliteAccess line that CO uses.
