I just flew from LAX to EWR and they no longer had a First Class and/or Elite check in distinguished from any of the others. Is this a new change? Also, I asked a CO employee that I frequently see whether she knew anything about proposed changes. She said better customer appreciation for elites--- special security checkpoints for elites that would use their cards to get through quicker. I asked if there were any reductions in benefits for elites-- she said no, more of a disinction between elites and non elites.
