They used to assign you to a boarding group, A, B, C or D, dependent on when you checked in online. Now they break it up into groups of 5, ie: I was A45, which meant that even though I walked upi to the gate 30 minutes before take-off, and there were several hundred people in front of me, I was able to find a nice counter to sit at so I could login, check my mail, make a phone call, and start this thread.
When time came to board, I walked to the front of Line 2 (they break it into groups of 30 A1-30 and A31-60, then sub-groups of 5). I was the 45th person to board, pretty much got my choice of seats, and am talking to you while everyone that got here ahead of me are still boarding.
I have to admit, when they first announced it I thought it would suck. Now I love it.
