I just re-read this. Wow, now CC holders and E35K's board WITH *G and 75K's. *shakes head*. Andrew - will you be open to fine tuning this? Why not stick the 35K's and CC holders in Zone 3? Or even better yank priority boarding from 35K's since *S can't priority board....
You really don't want more than five groups total. That way, you get three groups of non-priority.
If you remove priority boarding from the 25 and 35k, what "benefit" is left for them?

Perhaps that cuts the priority groups into two groups of roughly 30 each? Which is a significant improvement on one group of 60?

But I'd still like a way to board before J so that I can guarantee bin space on the E90

Wow. What about a Zone 0 (with Pilots and Crew) for those who camp out at airports and/or circumnavigate the world to get from YOW to YYZ? True FFs for sure.

Well, there was this post by Dorian.
Quite frankly, I'd put Mr. Cow and Drunk Cargo not in Zone 0, but ahead of everyone else for their "circumnavigating" adventure for EYW.
I.M.H.O.
Mine:
- Zone 1: CR
- Zone 2: no one (aka: red herring zone)
- Zone 3: AC Maintenance
- Zone 4: AC employees
- Zone 5: AC employee's friends and family
- Zone 6: there is no zone 3, zone 1 and 2 members are still getting settled
- Zone 7: Paid J
- Zone 8: Y and *G
- Zone 9: any Altitude member
- Zone 1: CR
- Zone 2: no one (aka: red herring zone)
- Zone 3: AC Maintenance
- Zone 4: AC employees
- Zone 5: AC employee's friends and family
- Zone 6: there is no zone 3, zone 1 and 2 members are still getting settled
- Zone 7: Paid J
- Zone 8: Y and *G
- Zone 9: any Altitude member

E35 shouldn't even be a status tier. Who do these people think they are, expecting to rank among the SEs and E75s? 35 segments in a year is really the same as flying once a year to Florida. They should know their place, which is with the gate lice. What disgusting vermin.
