I just expereinced a new one last weekend... board from the front door only at LGB... they boarded like this...
Row 20 and higher, Row 15 and higher, all rows.
Interesting, I have never seen a single boarding door procedure at LGB. One of the stairs must have been broken. Normally we dual deplane and enplane in LGB because of the small nature of the airport.
For the most part all stations should be "free boarding". With the new security measures, the time it takes to board will be drastically reduced due to the reduction in carry-ons. The last flight I flew, 486 LGB-BOS, we had a full flight in and only 15-20% of the overheads where full. We had about 13 or so completely empty overheads. Normally we are running 90-95% full overheads on the LGB-BOS runs.
