Plenty (significantly more than you, from your profile), and I disagree. The gate lice were there long ago.

Half the plane may be elite / F on some flights (most flights nowhere near that) but the only people who are really negatively affected are F / 1K who arrive late at the gate. They could be stuck behind other elites where they would not have been previously.

Anyway - there's a long, long thread about this elsewhere for those seeking a taste of the dramatic - no need to re-hash it here
