Yeah, I only found out today about the switch to the cattle-call boarding mess. Ugh. What an incredibly awful idea - I wonder what else can they think of to make flying less appealing?
The wife says that when they call for those needing special assistance with boarding, maybe she'll just pat her belly and mention that she's expecting (yeah - she's expecting to get on the #@*! plane without having to fight her way through a crowd - morons!!).
