yes, this was my point when I said "I don't see why anyone cares about this"

I have no idea what the "pre-board experience" you're talking about is and I really don't understand how someone else boarding at the same time as you "degrades" it. If you really have the sads because the boarding "experience" on your domestic flight from Atlanta to Pittsburgh isn't "ultra-exclusive" enough, idk, you probably need to look into flying private.

It's weird how forums like this are constantly full of people concocting weird schemes rework the boarding process to shave 0.3 minutes off the process but at the same time people bellyache and want other changes that drag the process out.
