OW rules indicate that Emeralds should be entitled to board along with F pax. Like it or not, there are some compromises you need to accept being a top-tier member of an airline which is in an alliance. If DMs are entitled to board before other OWEs, then it's ridiculous for other airlines to let CX Emeralds have F/group 1 priority boarding.
