What's the point of having prioritized boarding for F, GS or 1K if they're going to do that? It was the first time I've seen them call seating 1 along w/F. I really wish United would be more strict about prioritized boarding.
When I have seenthis happen, it has been a 757 or similar plane when the F passengers go one way upon boarding, and the Y passengers go the other way. I have never seen it on an A320/319 for example.
