Thanks everyone for the responses. (I did look at the booking separate legs for me, but it was cost prohibitive and didn't result in any benefit)
From the responses, I will just book her separately (without companion'ing her).
I am the 'rule-follower type' and don't want or need to get crossways with SWA.

I agree this is annoying, but if you stay on top of it (by checking your email for the notification of the change), it can work to your benefit because you will have flexibility with re-changing, even to different days.
And I did experience this a few times recently. My OKC-MCO nonstop got 'rebooked' to a layover flight, even though there was still a nonstop whose departure time was simply tweaked a little. It was annoying that I was put on a layover flight, but I just went in and selected and changed to the nonstop OKC-MCO and I was back on a nonstop.
While I understand why you consider this a disadvantage, I consider it an advantage over other airlines and often hope my (long in advance) flight gets changed a little so I have the flexibility of two changes in case I need them.

I have a particular factual question.
For a wedding, I am coming back from CHS to OKC through BNA ( CHS-BNA-OKC )
My mother has a need to go from CHS just to BNA.
If this was allowed, could I 'companion' my Mom on the CHS-BNA-OKC flight, and she just never gets on the BNA-OKC leg?
Is that allowed?
(This would be a one-way flight--not round trip).
Of course, she would NOT check a bag.
So, may my SWA companion leave the airport at the layover stop?
Or, alternatively, can I add a companion to ONLY the first leg of a two leg flight?
Thanks.

I too am A-List with a companion. FYI, on June 18 and June 24, my boarding positions worked as they should (both WG fares)
I havent noticed this problem.
