I completely agree pre boarding is out of control. I fly 4 or 5 times a week and have seen a dozen people board with one person on a walker, groups of 6-8 and today four losers in their mid 30s who preboarded with zero disability.

Second, let business select at least board first. The situation is annoying enough I now fly other airlines for business whenever possible. Given that this problem is uniquely Southwest’s in its magnitude I expect they have more discretion than they are exercising.
