I'll be there tomorrow AM (~7am) to report. When I left on an evening TATL departure on 12/30, the T2 line was nearly out the door. The medallion line was empty, thank god. I could feel the daggers in my back as I quickly went through security

ALways use T2 unless it is closed which is in the morning. No compare I use ONLY T2 and BE checkin regardless of where I am going. If you are PM/DM and the line is long ask the agent to walk you to the front of the line but only if you are running late. T2 will NOT be opened at 7am.....sorry. T3 does not have a 1st class/PM/DM line but T2 does. I have never been in line more then 5 minutes including Thanksgiving/Christmas

Well, finished my flight (after a 2 hour delay to change to a 767, but we got some nice business elite seats!).
The medallion line had 1 person in front of me in T2. The non-medallion line was pretty long though - not sure how long it was taking them to make it through. T2 is definitely the way to go.
