The only time I really appreciate priority boarding is in Y on a full flight to guarantee overhead baggage space - end of story. There's no other real tangible benefit to it, imho, except possibly if one is dying to drink Dom Perignon for a pre-departure beverage in F as soon as possible, but even then at some outstations it's not even open before take-off.
The negative though is the rest of the economy passengers boarding and shoving their bags in your face as they go past.
I'm off to Chicago tomorrow morning, I will be one of the first to board

All you Y-Gold flyers may have spent allot of money to make your status but your spend was minimally profitable to EK. I would stop moaning about your boarding experiences and just be happy with your lounge and baggage privileges. Don't forget, you're still just Y-class passengers.
or
-The management of the airline to supersede the rules & privileges handed out by them ?

[This means, though I (i.e. my company) maybe don't spend as much money, I do fly a lot on EK. Does that mean I should not expect to be treated differently from occasional flyers? I earned it and as such I do expect it!]
So the Company spends the money but you say "I earned it"
