All things being equal, I have no issues with the change, *IF* UA implements the policy as promised. Of course, I have ZERO confidence that they will and fully expect GAs offering exceptions to anyone and everyone screaming loud enough.

Implementation will be inefficient and mass confusion will ensue. The moment there's an announcement, a mad dash with kids of all ages will rush for boarding. People will ignore the policy, either willingly or unwittingly, and each will argue for pre-boarding for the entire family.

I can't envision any F/Elites putting up with this chaos.
