If you read up, you'll see that boarding isn't my complaint here. The old EliteAccess program gave Silvers the ability to use the EA lane anywhere it appeared - at ticketing, security, customer service, baggage service and boarding. I have no issues with Silvers in a different line than, say, GS or 1K, but to exclude Silvers entirely from certain parts of the program without any sort of advance notice...
