Besides, they can still board at last call, however, they all seem to want to get on first.

Besides, there is some pleasure in smugly sitting, sipping your drink from a glass, while watching the Wall Mart crowd shuffle by.
For the airline, there is the potential up sell.
Not that I'm disrespecting Wall Mart shoppers. I bought a shirt from Good Will the other day.

I'm not saying to not serve FC. I'm suggesting that they serve FC prior to coach boarding. And be quick about it. I've seen them block coach passengers at the cockpit door for a couple of minutes while they served FC. It is kind of demeaning and demoralizing to the coach passengers who actually see what is going on. Everyone in the jetway doesn't see what's going on.
Serve FC. But once coach passengers start to come down the jetway, throttle back and get people on. If someone in FC didn't get their drink in time, there's always going to be natural breaks in the passengers to serve them.

I'm not really sure you can serve FC before Coach boards. There is not a lot of time in between the two, not to mention it often takes quite a while for many FC pax to get situated. Jackets off, laptops/kindles/iPads out, etc. With the pressure the gate agents are under to get the flight out they get the lax down fast.
That being said, I too do not think the FAs should leave pax out on the jetway just to serve FC pax. If it's a hub, they will likely have time to serve them and clean up before takeoff. I just think many like to sit as quick as they can, rather then serve the customers like they are paid to do.
