The fact that you paid a premium in order to board early is irrelevant. And in expressing your disagreement with this new policy, you automatically become the recipient of name calling because you have the audacity to disagree with someone/some issue.
This sure seems like the case with some on here.

I'm just astounded by the lack or courtesy and reciprocity. I find it astonishing there are those here who find it unacceptable that even if I were to concede that on 99% of the flights everyone else can have the run of the plane; but, expect, during those rare times when I must work, to board first after paying for a full F fare.

If I'm an entitled jerk, I can't even come up with an adequate enough colorful metaphor to label the "because I have young children, I'm more important than you even if you've paid whatever and need to prepare for the preparation of your life" clique.

I must have been in a cave to have missed the advent of this militant group.
