nancy, I hope you mean the year 1998, when you say "all 98 Gold & Silver Elites".
We all enjoy the privilege of early boarding
so we can get the overhead space, etc. However, my comments, Catman's comments, and others are intended to help
alleviate the stampede. I have been on flights that when early boarding was called,
I could almost believe that 98 Elites boarded. Of course, it was not that many,
but it sure seemed like it.
