The plane hasn't even arrived yet, so why are they already lining up at the gate? Now I have to do it too to secure one of those precious few spots in the overhead bin.

Sure but if you board at the end of group 1 you're still not going to have a problem finding bin space.

Just breeze past them with your status.

P1 Those with status do this too. Just this week I saw Group 1 for UA filling up 20 minutes before scheduled boarding and no indication from gate agents that boarding would start soon.

Ha. I wish. If you're sitting near the front of E+ and flying in/out of SFO on UA, you won't be able to keep your bag near you and will have to do the unenviable upstream swimming at landing.
