ILLEGAL by federal law -- one cannot treat preboarders differnetly than regular passengers

2. stop allowing additional people to join them early.

So disabled people who ned help would be banned from getting help ... really?

I'm going to say it again.... you have a seat on the plane AND are not disabled (mentally or physically).  You should be thankful for both.  

Take a deep breath, enjoy the day and the fact that you have the luxury to be able to fly to your destination.  There are many in this world that cannot afford to do so.

This world needs more compassion instead of entitlement.

A bit presumptive eh?? I am over 70% disabled and unlike most of the fraudsters pre boarding can prove it. The difference is I have morales….. I have a seat on the plane because I bought it, and bought the more expensive flight to get a good seat because I have stuff to do…. Enter fraudster pre board scam….

Nobody is complaining about those who need to preboard. The complaint concerns those who are taking advantage of the situation. I am happy that you have found a sense of zen and are willing to let people walk all over you. Not all of us subscribe to your philosophy.

1. Your wrong disabled people are welcome to board with group assigned to their ticket. Pre board isn’t a federal right… southwest is allowed to place any restrictions on a boarding designation they like… nice try though. Disabled persons ple can’t be treated differently because of their disability.  Boarding group is not a “protected class”

they would have plenty of help. Agents help now today.

There's no "scam" or "fraud" with the way Southwest does preboarding.

I agree 100% it’s the POS  fraudsters that take advantage of federal law which creates a barrier to south wests ability to call out scammers because they can’t “ask”

so they stay compliant and remove the “benefit” to waste of life fraudsters while still allowing truly disabled people the extra time they need to board first….

I am glad that you missed law school the day they taught law. Otherwise, you'd be a killer litigator.

Do you strenuously object?
