Well, as a Gold Y passenger, yes. It was a huge inconvenience. I'll also point out that there are an awful lot of Plat and Gold Y pax on a DEN-SFO 777...

I applaud their attempt to use two doors, though. Unfortunately I think the main bottleneck is in the aisles, not at the door(s), so not sure it really speeds things up compared to just boarding everyone through L2.
We did the right-side-through-L1 thing that Fastair and others describe on my outbound leg out of SFO (also a 777), and it *was* a lot more efficient.
