Have flown with easyJet a couple of times, most recently last week. Both times, there's been similar scenarios. Eg last time, the call went out for Speedy Boarding, forcing the Speedy Boarders to push their way through the crowds muttering/hissing 'let me through, I'm a Speedy Boarder, don't you know' etc. Speedy Boarders then disappear down the passage and regular boarding starts. Regular boarders troop on to a bus, like sardines, and move 100m across the tarmac and stop by the plane. Short, inexplicable delay, before a less crowded bus appears containing the Speedy Boarders, to the general mockery of the pleb boarders bus - they must have been sat on that bus for 15 minutes waiting for ours to fill up. Speedy Boarders are then released from their bus, as are we, 30 seconds later, and we all board the plane together. So what is the point of it? None of them had small children or anything like that. Last time I flew Ryanair they called priority boarding, and the entire plane bar us stood up. Who is paying for this nonsense? The plane isn't going to leave without you. In fact, they very much go out of their way not to do that.
