So they're taking the biggest bottleneck (Group 1), and making it even bigger!?!?! I'm not hating on Plats--they deserve benefits too, but Group 1 on anything larger than an A320 is a complete Charlie Foxtrot as it is...
And I really feel for the Golds here...Wow, fly up to 74,999 miles/year and you board the same time as someone who has a credit card.
I think this is a big step backwards...And it's only going to compound when people think, "Group 2...I'll be in the second group to board, I'll just start lining up early."
This new plan makes an already-bad process even more annoying and customer-unfriendly...Unless they are restricting the blue carpet to Group 1 only. (At least in the 99%+ gates systemwide that don't have the new 'trial' lanes.)
