I’m A16 99% of the time and this doesn’t bother me at all because preboards can’t sit in the exit row, my preference. Of course, those exit row seats are also occasionally gone by the time I get on-board by the Biz Select folks, but oh well, I still always get an aisle or window (whatever I feel like that day) up front, which would’ve been pretty unlikely with a last-minute-ish booking on other airlines.
I mean, it is what it is. There is always zero guarantee you will get your absolute singular preferred seat or row anywhere, even when booking with airlines with assigned seating. I’m at peace with it as a Wanna Get Away frequent flier.
THAT ALL SAID, you’ve definitely a right to get cheesed as a Biz Select payer. It is indeed a total farce sometimes.

All aircraft have a maximum crosswind component (wind speed and number of degrees off the center line). Exceed that number and you are not authorized to attempt a landing. Taking off with a cross wind is not an issue. Most of the time wind is not 90 degrees off the center line, and even if it is the wind speed then has to be high enough to be a problem.
So, most jet aircraft can "handle" all but the most extreme crosswind components - even at single runway airports. Landings can get interesting, but that's why you have experienced pilots making big bucks.
Most landings are crosswind as most of the time wind is not coming directly down the center line.

You could open another email ticket and reference the other case numbers or try Twitter or Facebook and hopefully they will respond.
i have one case that’s over 2 weeks old (not related to the meltdown) but still waiting.
i think they are just very backed up and it’s causing delays

This forum is better suited for customer/passenger comments and questions for SWA, and it sounds like your post is better for Chase. Might be worth checking into sharing there!

You can use points here as well. Minors can chat with the gate agent if they need to board earlier for specific reasons too.

Is that convenient when you try to travel as a family? Just yourself? What about discounts on flights? Or is that full price for all? My family is 4 of us I don't see it convenient to wait for 4 spots to be open in a last minute flight! I like to plan ahead that means I would probably have to buy tickets instead right?

Fun fact - Southwest has the fastest boarding method (confirmed by Mythbusters): https://youtu.be/ss1S3-Kv6R8
Yes, even a little faster than back to front.

I am traveling with my 4 month old baby. We will be checking a stroller/car seat combo with a car seat base at the gate. Will I need to separate and collapse my stroller at the gate in order to check it? Or can I keep it intact with all the components together?
If you have one of the blue bags or other "case" for it just throw the base in there too. But 100% collapsed as the others have said.

Most of the folks assisting here are passengers/customers, so not sure we'll have the best answer. The answer may also not be best to shared publicly. Have you tried replying to your recruiters?

In another post, someone got really upset about preboarding. The discussion turned very toxic and I reported the hostility.
Southwest came and closed the subject.
I really do not get all of the hostility on this board. Just because someone preboards?
