Just overheard at the NW forum...

Following CO's lead (albeit a few years late), NW has announced they will set aside special boarding lanes a la 'Elite Access' for FC, WBC and Elite members to board ahead of other customers during the 'open boarding' chaos.

This leaves DL as the only carrier of the domestic ST bunch who does not provide special boarding access (after the initial status/zone call) to Elite customers.

Will DL capitulate to competition from its partners and offer a "Medallion Lane" at each gate for priority access?
