I would have thought everyone would be glad to see the end of that, but I guess not...
I think UA-NYC's point here is "every man for himself". Since UA-NYC waits at the gate, he reaps those rewards.

Not saying it's the right thing, but it works for him. One can't argue with that logic, if you know that is how pmUA operates.

Personally, I think it's horrid, but if that process is retained, I will simply hang around the gate earlier.
