Ah, understood.

So, left side of the plane through 2L and right side through 1L. I assume that would work as long as you had BG1 and BG2 signs and cattle chutes at both doors; you just have to tell people to look at their boarding pass and if it is a seat ABCDE, please go to door 2, and FGHJKL-Z (because you just know UA is trying to figure out 11-across seating at some point), board through door 1.

Doesn't help the poor guy in 1A at all.

So maybe it's row letters combined with Polaris. Tell your Polaris folks they should board through door 1 if they are in rows 1-8 (or whatever the last row is before door 2); everyone else, A-E through door 1, F-Z through door 2.
