You know, if Delta were good at boarding and the GA's actually enforced zones and demanded that lice stay seated until their zone is called, they could get away with this. Today it is a total joke in just about every airport so I know they cannot handle another in the long list of "priority" zones...what is so priority about half the plane rushing the gate?

I am so sick of this stuff....
I don't fly DL often, so does every passenger have a number on their BP telling them their zone (i.e., Diamond/Plat/F=1, Gold/Silver=2, or whatever it is), instead of the GA reading a laundry list of eligible classes to board (i.e., diamonds, plats, children traveling with small adults, active military carrying boa constrictors, etc. may now board.)? If it's the former, it's too bad that people don't understand the concept of numbers. I'm all for tasering in that case.
