Silvers are NOT the problem. Lack of an orderly boarding process is the problem.
I didn't used to care either way about the boarding process (scrum vs. hierarchy), but after flying pmUA & pmCO the last 2 years, I've definitely come around to the pmUA-way of thinking. As a 2P/Silver, I have no issue with letting Plats/Golds go ahead of me, as long as I still get to board before the general boarding by row, and as long as I have an assigned seat. I fully agree that the CO eliteScrum is an impractical way to board an aircraft.
(All that said, do we really need ANOTHER thread on the boarding privileges/process?)
