Having flown dozens of flights on UA's 757s, I remember ALWAYS boarding through the center door (2L). But for some reason, this flight boarded through 1L. Doesn't seem to be very efficient, as everyone had to walk through the 6 first class rows.
Why would they have done this, at DEN of all places?
Could have been a bad parking job, but that would make 1L even more unaccessable. At ORD, I think we still have 1 gate left where we meet door 1. We used to have a few of em. Door 1 is MUCH harder to open...the leverage isn't there, and the door opens out and up. Basicly, the gate may not have been enigeneered (lead in line, swing limit tollerances on the jetway) to accomodate door 2 on 757.
