according to what I read boarding group 4 is where the new process starts. Based on what Iv seen group 4 pax typically get asked to check there bags anyway.

These are the boarding groups (preboarding, groups 1 & 2 didn't change):
1 – United Polaris Business
– United First
– United Business
– Premier Platinum
– Premier Gold
– Star Alliance Gold
2 – Premiere Silver
– Star Alliance Silver
– Chase and specific international card holders
– Paid Premiere Access
3 – Window seats
– Exit row seats
– NRPS and NRSA
4 – Middle seats
5 – Aisle seats
6 – Carry-on restricted Basic Economy
– Customers with no boarding group number

The problem with this is beyond preboard and group 1 people just bum rush the gate. I guess they’ve tested it and it works but it’s going to be even more frustrating as someone who already gets frustrated at getting stuck behind 40 group 3 people standing in the group 2 line.

Don’t forget DH pilots can board whenever we damn well please.

Yep. What’s old is new again.

UAL marketing is reinventing the wheel.

Refresh my memory, what became of Theodore?
