Mmmhmm. I've been getting a lot of A-16's lately, and nothing annoys me more than when someone tries to sneak ahead of me. I don't get so bent out of shape if it's a shorter flight, but a few months ago I was doing LAX-MDW, and some guy was standing in the BS section. When it came time to board, I saw he had an A-30, but it was too late for me to sneak ahead of him. It seems to me he knew exactly what he was doing. I dislike it because a) it's dishonest and b) I sure flew a lot to earn this status, and one of the perks I get is first crack at seats. Naturally the guy took my preferred seat, the "infinite legroom" seat. I think I sat in a LUV seat instead, which while nice, isn't as roomy as the infinite legroom.

The good thing about having A-16 is I am fairly confident only BS people should be ahead of me, so it's pretty easy to get the right place in line.
