Gate attendant (Gate 3 - only one attend there) rebuked me and wife (both 73 yrs old--I am silver elite, wife walks with cane, artificial hip AND knee) for boarding with elite group. When I pointed out I WAS elite on boarding pass, She replied "Well, She isn't" referring to my wife--as though we were trying to do some great crime on a 50 passenger CRJ. At least 7 passengers had already boarded the plane before us. Both of us have been flying long before this high school girl got out of diapers. If this was typical of several employees of Continental, you can be sure we would choose another airline to fly. The rest of our trip to HK was great--your gate attendant at CRP early flight gate needs another class on how salaries are paid or else moved to handling baggage.
