Doesn't bother me. Seems like a giant pain in the ass way to "work the system" when most of the time for somewhere between $15 and $30 you can pay for priority boarding if you don't already have status. I'd much rather be in the position I am in, able to pay for early boarding if I want it, than having to try and "work the system" and as a result be pushed around in a wheelchair.

If those people feel they are getting some kind of a jump on the rest of us, they can go on believing that for all I care, I am happy to not be part of that mindset.
