People will figure it out and adjust according to their priorities.

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.

Ehhhhh, wasn’t this done before, but in the post 9/11 era?

Or was that just on Theodore flights?

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?

Gotta love the airline within an airline model. Delta Express, Song, Cal Lite, MetroJet, Shuttle by United, and Ted. I’m drawing a blank, but I thought that there were a few other attempts.

I have seen, on AA, Group 1 and Group 2 being 2/3 of all the passengers. That’s at least for some flights.

Is that different than a Hawaiian Islander or Long Islander?

Sorry guys. You are all wrong. Shuttle pioneered this boarding process back in the mid 90's. TED continued it. It worked very well for Guppies.

​​​​​​​As already said, what's old is new again.

Group 3 should now be smaller than it was under the old system. Only the non-status window passengers and non-revs.
