UA and AA, like DL, all use number boarding groups. They do use terms like "Preferred" and "Priority" boarding for CC holders, but they don't try to call it "Zone 1" boarding.

United boards:

Passengers needing assistance or extra time
Military (active)
Global Services ($$$ crowd)
Families with kids under 2
Premier 1K status

and then only Groups 1-6

so it depends how you count
