Some help in the security line [at STL]
I'm based out of STL, but CO flies almost nothing but ERJ's. No F. But your Elite status doesn't get you through the security line faster. You need an F seat to get that. CO needs to open it up to let us through!

I travel to/from STL fairly frequently. The new Concourse A shoe carnival set-up is an improvement (bigger).
I have not seen a line for First Class pax at STL - A.
Yes, CO needs to add an elite line, but then so will DL, NW, UA, US, and AC, all of which use concourse A.

I've lurked on FT for a while, but this thread on STL's lack of elite-access security line provoked me to register and vent about STL.
"Yes, CO needs to add an elite line, but then so will DL, NW, UA, US, and AC, all of which use concourse A." A shared elite-access security line can easily be implemented in terms of practicality. SEA and SJC (among other airports) have shared elite-access lines. One of the DL ticket agents told me STL refuses to cooperate in this regard. What do you expect from a second-rate airport with incompetent management?
"CO flies almost nothing but ERJ's"?!!!! If you know of any CO mainline flights, please advise. I've flown nothing but ERJ's to IAH and EWR since 2003.

Welcome to FT.
IIRC, all CO service to STL is Jungle/Tundra Jet.
I think it would be great for to have a multi-carrier elite line at STL-A. They certainly have the space with new/expanded Shoe Carnival.
Re STL management....nobody will ever top Col. Griggs.
Heck, if it wasn't for him, STL would not have MetroLink (light rail system).

Well, it could be like Columbus where I was yesterday. They have a CO Elite Line sign at checkpoint. Only problem was that was the only line for all CO and WN fliers who use the terminal.
