I find this so weird...
First of all I grew up in a place/time/home where decency made sure you'd let old folks, handicapped and parents with babies in front of you.
So here you are at your coveted Group 1 and boarding begins... But woe is me ... We have to wait 5 minutes to let the 2 or 3 groups of parents get on the plane.
So what? I would think that the delay in taking off is the same or greater if these parents are boarding with the masses. You think I will be quick when I have to drag my baby from my seat and move a bag upstream because there is no room? You think it helps the boarding process when parents need to settle in with diaper bags etc when a mass of people is pushing behind them?

I get in the Group 1 line all the time with my baby girl and all that goes with it. I have 1K so hang around in that oh-so coveted group 1 line. Thank you all for glaring at me and cursing me silently.
My grandma would have slapped me on the back of the head if I displayed this lack of decency. [Moderator edit.]
