We experienced this at BUR - woman in front of us saying loudly, "we have the credit card, we're priority," while her husband said, no, our boarding pass says group B. She insisted that the credit card overrode the BP, and she and her family all boarded before anyone in F.

How about A B C D E ... LMNOP (as necessary). Alternatively, 1 2 3 4 5 ...
Having recently flown other airlines with Boarding Zones 1 and 2, I can tell you that my ego did not inflate, deflate, conflate, or experience any other sort of flation by not specifically hearing "Business Class may board now," or "Those with Shiny Metal Status may board now."

First at least is boarding with the 100k. On UAL the 1k (100k) pax board BEFORE first class. And there are a lot of 1k on UAL all boarding before F.

Does it really matter? The 1Ks are either in F, or they are in E+ or exit row and unlikely to steal the First Class cabin overhead space.
