Story: Once DTW-MSP, Thursday night, they boarded F, then Diamonds, then Plats, then Golds and Silvers. When they did general boarding, there could not have been more than 15 seats open on the 75x. So, to someone's point above, I have witnessed where they boarded medallions by metal grade.
Any reason why ATL-MSP is so elite heavy now? I remember clearing the upgrade on this route easily as a silver before the merger. The equipment back then was a mix of MD-88/CR9/E170 if I remember correctly. I'm PMDL, not sure what it might have been like on the PMNW side.
