These are the same people who still write checks at the grocery store but don't actually start writing until the cashier gives them the total.

I also watch as the line in front of me at Security wait until they are AT THE XRAY MACHINE to start taking out the laptop, the liquids, the coat ....drives me nuts. as soon as I get the BP check I have me coat off, my laptop in hand, my bag-o-liquids ready to go and I remember to put my shoes ON THE BELT not in a tote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):) |

I try to be as inconspicous as possible, until (especially true when boarding a 777, 767, 757) in which there is a distinct possibility to board through the 2L. When the FOs start to block the aisle trying to fit as much as they can into their seats...then I blow past them--sometimes moving them into their row so I can get to my seat...
...on AF in P, it gets much, much better, especially when they hold the line up if you did not get to board first.... (It is really hilarious to watch the facial expressions of the ST Elites when they question the problem with the line) "I'd have to put my PM card on my forehead and let them all know that i'm superior to them and they should just genuflect to my eliteness"

I thought I had a picture of UA Gate Lice in SFO on my Blackberry but sadly don't. The sad thing is that those gate lice are 1Ks and up - meaning they fly enough that they shouldn't be rookies. Must be something funny they're serving in the UA coffee to keep them thinking that way :D
Then again, they don't have free booze in the RCC's so I understand. |

Sounds just like Wireless. When we were at SFO, I had to kick him to keep him from blocking the plush carpet. He said that was what they do on UA. Leave the lounge 15+ minutes before the flight starts boarding so they can be first on the carpet.

Also, with UA, if people don't know you're elite, then you're assumed to be a nobody. Hence the Gold BPs and Red Carpet blocking. :D

Maybe we should petition DL for BRIGHT RED BP's (would make sense branding wise) or maybe navy blue? I need something to differentiate me.
It does make my seat assignment kind of hard to read (you'd think they'd use a different color ink for the font...) :D:D |
get your terminalogy right!

FO Here. Not a fan of the Lice at all, I prefer to spend the extra 10 minutes in the lounge and then use the breezeway. Last year, while flying MEM-ATL with a confirmed F seat (Y-UP) on a CR9, a group of elites were blocking the breezeway lane waiting for Zone 2 to be called. Said "Excuse me" three times, but was ignored probably because they noticed the FO tag on my laptop case. Had to go around and wave my BP to the GA so she could ask them to clear the breezeway.
Also, on a different note, was accused of "cutting the line" a few weeks ago while using the breezeway to board my LAX-SLC flight. Two girls were the next one to board, but the GA took my boarding pass instead, and they started to complain about it. It was fun to see how they reacted when I gave my coat to the FA, put the laptop case on the overhead bin, and took seat 7C. |
