Or if you fly Eagle. Half the time the ground crew in VPS remembers to invite EXPs and Plats to board early, a quarter of the time they only board by group 1, then group 2 (I think that's all they have), and the rest of the time it's a free for all. Most of the time I don't care, since I rarely need overhead bin space, but every now and then I actually would like to board first. Funnily enough, that's usually when it's just a free for all!
