Ok - I experienced something this evening on DL1276 ATL-RDU and wanted to see if anyone else has seen this behavior...

So, the GA opens up boarding for Zones 1-3. I mosey on up to the gate along with ~20 or so folks and I'm right about in the middle of the pack. The GA is doing her job, but there were four people that jetted right by everyone in the BW line and proceeded to shove their boarding passes to the GA. The GA was visibly irritated by their behavior and even noted "Some people in first class think they can just shove everyone out of the way." (Not quite sure that this was appropriate by the GA, but again, she was clearly alarmed by how cavalier these four folks were) Now, I understand the whole breezeway thing, but pretty much everyone standing in that line could have used the breezeway since only Zones 1-3 were called. I'm a PM and was fortunate enough to win in the gate lottery, so I certainly could have used breezeway - but what's the point when Zone 1-3 is being called? Sure use it when Zone 4-9 is boarding, but why should anyone be able to use BW when essentially everyone else could use it as well? Was this an error by the GA? From the previous posts on this thread, it seems like the FT community seems to agree that BW only makes sense for 4-9, but what is DL's official stance?

Has anyone else noticed this type of behavior? It's really not that big of a deal, I guess I just don't care whether I'm the first or 15th person on the plane, I'm still boarding in the first wave and will still have plenty of time to snag some overhead bin space.
