Default Main cabin 2???

My last two PS commutes both produced a main cabin 2 boarding pass. Initially I thought it was a mistake but now it happened twice. Did we just get bumped from main cabin 1 to main cabin 2? I thought I read somewhere that we were supposed to be Main cabin 1.

I was under the impression your boarding zone depends where your row number is in the jet. MC1 in the back, MC2 in the front of coach. MC3 usually the Basic economy. I just board at the end of economy comfort. Always have bin space, never rubbed a HVC wrong.

+1 to boarding after EC. I never care what zone I am I always board at the same time.

^^^^^^ This. Not trying to talk everyone into it, but politeness respect and some light-hearted banter with fellow DL employees seems to set one up well for boarding at a sensible moment, at least while in uniform. I'm always prepared for a "step aside until your zone is called" reaction, but it's never happened.

Similar, but I board “with” the Sky Priority zone, and just sort of get in near the back of that group of people. I’ve never once gotten any sort of push back from an agent, and if I did, I’d stand there for about 5 seconds until they then called main cabin 1 and I’d scan and be on my way…

OK - Thanks guys. I do the exact same thing, board at the end of the priority line and never had any push back. I am still curious if there has been a change and why I am now seeing Main cabin 2. Something has changed.

My passes still say Main Cabin 1, so not sure what's going on there. Also one of the newsletters that I read recently (base, fleet, can't remember) mentioned that we are supposed to board after Sky Priority.

I think that was for DH flights.

Hi! I just have a few questions.
How long does it take to get on the 330 being based in DTW?
How many days off per month?
QOL?
Thank you so much
