It works pretty well for LH in FRA

This seems like an easy and obvious solution and then you don't have to deal with having a different process for 3class for 2class and I can't see why any 1K myself included would take issue with this kind of approach.
Worked well w/PMUA on int'l routes - they even split up the red carpet a bit with GS/Int'l F/1Ks going first, then the rest of Biz.
