PS Travel boarding as group 3
I don't usually DH or PS travel, but when did we get downgraded? I know if in uniform you can board as group 1, but when did we change to group 3?
I PS travelled this week not in uniform and by the time I boarded (1st in line of group 3) the overhead spaces were all gone.

It's been awhile... group 3 unless you have a seat in FC. I get around this by standing in the back of group 1 and showing my company ID with my boarding pass... never given any grief. If I don't have a suitcase I just board in 3.

If you're in uniform you can board as if you were a working crewmember, as long as the FAs are on board. Otherwise board with whatever group you want...Global, Group 1, you choose.

Also, if you are doing a regular DH it should still be Group 1. If you DV8 it will be Group 3. I just did a double DH after a double damned reassignment and it was Group 1 on both legs.

It IS in the contract. You can pre-board with the crew if in Uniform. Otherwise you can board with Group 1 regardless of what your boarding pass says.
