I respectfully disagree with this one, because you've only added to the quilombo of entitled people at ANC/SEA/PDX. A perk that doesn't take anything materially away from anyone else is what is in order. It will only add to boarding times if there is a true pecking order kept, and what a disappointment to get "early boarding" to find the People needing extra time, people with kids under 2, military, F, 75K, MVPG, and MVP come before the 10Kers. [I am reminded of a UA flight on a 777 last year, when I was in the front cabin, and saw somewhere between 75 to 100 people have some sort of entitlement to board before I did.]
