The second code is supposedly sorted by Medallion Status, Fare Class, and then timestamps and is everyone else except full fares.

I encourage anyone else to probe GAs/CRC agents for more info and maybe we can discover how they are doing it now..

Good to see they give PMs on full fare tickets priority over GMs and FOs that just got an earlier timestamp with the old system.

Also good that fare class matters now too. So when I buy a last minute ticket it doesn't hurt me as much that my timestamp is so late.

I't'll be interesting to see how this effects the gate lottery..
