Thumbs down Sky Priority zone sometimes not called

Me too. On my last 6 flights (legs), all in August, on 2 occasions the Sky Priority zone wasn't called. Seems agents are either confused and still think Comfort+ is also Sky Priority (as was the case before), or they are combining Sky and Main 1 zones. Interestingly this was at gates where there were no boarding pillars (one was an international flight from an E-gate in ATL with no pillars).

I complained in both cases and the gate agent realized his/her mistake and apologized to me.
