Mind you, it's questionable if these folks truly needed to board out of turn...but I digress.
Once the 1Ks were allowed to board, we had to do significant baggage rearrangement in the F cabin to make space for our stuff.
Seems like UA is chasing the thirtysomething with small children market segment??
(And BTW, the crew was very unaccommodating and made me chug the last inch of wine in my glass while we were still at 36k feet, while she stood in the aisle and waited for me.)

I can't tell you how much that pi**es me off! I have no problem letting people who truly need extra time (elderly, disabled) board first, but just because you have F*****G children, that was (hopefully) your choice, as opposed to a disability or getting old.
