On a recent flight from BUF-DTW the GA called a preboard for people needing assistance and families with infant children. There were 2 wheelchairs and 4 families with kids under 2 boarding this flight. The first wheelchair and 1 family made it past the ticket counter before it was flooded with FC cabin passengers, some of whom obviously "cut" in front of the second wheelchair bound passenger.

I was appalled at this behavior. By the time the GA called for first class pax to board, there were only 2 of us left. Is the overhead space really at such a premium that we have to bully our way in front of people in wheelchairs and those carrying infant children? Or maybe it was the rush for the pre-flight drink...

Being one of the last FC pax on board in a cabin that was at best 50% full, I found plenty of overhead and was still offered a drink, even after letting the rest of the preboards on ahead of me.

Is it just me, or are the FC cabin pax getting pushier and pushier in boarding these days?
