It was even worse back in the Olden Times, before the current boarding procedure, when family boarding was before the A group. I recall seeing families in the pre-board line - usually ahead of the folks in wheelchairs - of six to eight, with only one kid young enough to qualify. And on flights to Orlando it sometimes seemed like there were more preboarders than those in the A-C groups.

Is that a recent thing? I've never been a frequent flyer, and thanks to Covid I haven't actually flown since 2019, but prior to that, I have never seen a flight that wasn't full to the brim when that announcement was made.
