These days the almost all seats are taken up by the "Elites"
It may be easire to preboard NON-elites !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was done on one of my flights. FNT to DTW. It was an avro with 3 non elites and the rest were all elite. After boarding FC they announced that "the plane had only 3 non elites so we will be boarding the plane by row number. And just for fun lets let the Non eiltes board first so they can get the feel of eliteness." Nobody complained and we got off on time
