Its really not that bad. If you're entitled to cutting the line you'll be allowed so. What is more broken in my opinion is that in most European cultures people are to afraid to send people back when breaking the rules. Like we're seeing when boarding any SK flight. They'll announce the order but there is never any enforcement. A very common side-effect of Swedish culture, 10.000 rules and no enforcement (except for taxes and speeding).

Try boarding an airplane in the US when you're boarding group #8 and they are only at #5. You're send back, as it should be. Or try using fast track when you're not entitled to. It won't happen.

If people shout it is a good time to put them in their place, provided you had legal access to fast track. You should really care less about angry faces or "walk of shame".
