Yeah, I have done that multiple times at SMF.

Depending on the number of pre-boards I almost run to the rear door and beat the BS guys to the exit rows.

If I had purchased BS and was A-1 and someone from the 16 to 15 group got the exit row I's be pretty disappointed,

I agree, deplaning thru the rear door is fine. Boarding thru the rear door speeds things up at the cost of your premium fare passengers getting pissed.
