Back when Exec Plat was group 2, groups 3 and 4 were called together 100% of the time in my experience. Not even a pause for more than 5 seconds. I was group 3 for a year and a half and never boarded before ~80% of group 4, which is half the plane sometimes. Only seems consistent to screw over PlatPro now by rushing groups 2-4. For AA, if you aren't at least ExecPlat, you are nothing.
(that being said, I personally don't care about boarding order unless I am in F and expecting a PDB)
