I knew a comment like this would come. Its fine. My point was I am an elite level flyer, and paid top dollar for a seat in first class.
What would it hurt to allow the small handful of F passengers to board first, then let all the crazy crying kids go after.
I guess the other part that bothers me is the entitlement that some (not all) of the parents w/kids feel by boarding first.
I've been flying the airline 25K miles+ for 30+ years running, and I'm watching folks maybe flying United for the first time with a screaming 23 month old get priority.
And, yes, I feel that I am entitled, not those folks.
