No I wasn't annoyed as a CW pax and neither seemingly was the other GGL (who was in F anyway), that would definitely have tipped us into DYKWIA territory! The poor gate agent was having enough problems with the assistance passengers (who became surprisingly spry on the inclined jetway to the upper deck) and their extended families, and the parents with surprisingly mature looking 'under 5s' also seeking to pre-board.
The salient point (and why I posted it) was the fact there had been a staff training video for gate agents so implementation from Tuesday onwards should be interesting.
