This has been going on a long time. I am so glad SWA will move to assigned seating. This is a cultural breakdown in our society as more and more people choose to game systems that rely on the honor system.

Agree, the pre-board abuse was totally out of control.

A big shout out to all of the people that gamed the pre-board system. You destroyed it. Next year SWA will have assigned seats and I could not be happier about it. I would have preferred they made this move earlier but better late than never. The parasite killed the host.

Public service announcement. Hackers exploit all sorts of companies you use to send data and engage in honest commerce. ATT was a recent example but they are hardly alone. This will not stop anytime soon. As much as it is a PITA your best bet is to change your passwords on a regular basis.

Hello and thanks in advance for any feedback. For years I have received a pack of free drink coupons a couple of times a year but somewhere around Covid this stopped. Is this a policy to reduce alcohol consumption or lower costs? I understand either way but am curious.
I am Alist/companion pass customer.

I am not convinced the FAA has any interest in the possible role DEI played here

Dear SWA today I learned in April you had a near disaster in a flight bound for Hawaii. The flight descend to 400 feet above the Pacific Ocean. My local news said the first officer who was less experienced made an error. We need to know more about this as some of us are concerned you are trading safely for DEI. Please provide full details around this.

How is the OPs sexual preference in any way related to this?

I agree and think the entire flight should pre board. WE all suffer from some sort of affliction...

I dont think ANYONE has an issue with people like you preboarding. This is exactly what the system is meant for. You must also be aware there is much abuse.

Thanks for posting this. I think SWA wants this all to just go away. They do NOT like it being discussed here. I for one will not sit back and simply watch cheating/abuse go on. They either fix this (not my problem how) or I leave. The very best most loyal flyers are getting sick of this BS. There are other choices.

Close to half the "pre boards" are simply people gaming the system.

Massive abuse by people gaming the system. These are the parasites of society.

The benefit has been greatly deluded because of massive preboard abuse. When my current companion pass expires I am leaving SWA over this.

My estimate is 50% of preboard people are simply abusing the system and are parasites.

This is a fairly new issue that has crept into society. Our systems are built on the honor system. Today so many people have no honor and game any and all systems. They abuse return policy in commerce. Abuse car handicapped placards. A few years ago the cops did an enforcement at PAC Bell Park in SF and found much abuse of so called handicapped people. I have zero issue with legit pre board people but as a 30 year A list preferred/companion pass flyer it has gotten totally out of control the past few years. we saw this with emotional support dogs as well. These people are parasites.

I don’t think I would fly if I was that way. Not sure how first few rows will help motion sickness as it’s not like a car. Window may not help either.

We see people gaming most any system put in place. This is just one such example. I have been in line with a veteran of war that could easily legitimately qualify for pre board but he would not have it. He was pretty outraged at the people he saw clearly gaming the policy. This was going on with emotional support dogs as well. To the people that do this, shame on you.

Legit ADA people can have any seat they want. Well ver 50% of the people that preboard are gaming the system to some degree. Based on current policy all passengers can say they need preboard. Where would that leave us?

Why does this forum suggest this has been solved? It is actually getting worse.
After companion pass expires I will use another airline over this massive ignored abuse issue.
This is not my problem its SWAs!

Looks like SWA made the news on this one, and not in a good way.

You guys need to fix this one way or another or you will lose some of your most loyal fliers, including me.
