If you don't like the way Southwest Airlines currently boards their planes, and you really like the way the other airlines board their planes with traditional assigned seating, do us all a favor and stop flying Southwest.
Remember, Southwest Airlines does not force people to fly on them. You have a CHOICE...
Why, should the most successful and profitable airline in the last 35 years change their business model and culture based on passengers who have never flown Southwest and can't fatham a world with non-traditional seating methods?

I always love hearing people call themselves cattle... It's funny how every other airline is trying so hard every day to streamline their boarding process but still keep assigned seating. and yet every day they still find themselves losing money because their planes are sitting in the gates longer than they want. Before they know it another quarter has gone by and another Billion dollars has been lost. And then what happens? They take it out on the passengers by increasing your ticket prices.
A succesful airline takes a plane, puts it in the gate for 15 to 20 minutes gets passengers and luggage off and on, gasses up and gets that plane the hell out of there so they can use that gate 10 more times. That is how an airline makes money. Keeping those planes off the ground and in the air. If Passengers (Cattle) knew why an airline like Southwest was so successful, understood how Southwest keeps air travel affordable and looked at the whole picture instead of just themselves(passengers), they might just stop calling themselves Cattle.
See Southwest is in business for two reasons; 1. To make Money, and 2. To transport passengers from point A to point B Fast, Safe and Affordable. Bottom line. That's it. Southwest does this 3900 times a day 365 days a year.
Boarding planes the way Southwest Airlines has boarded their planes for the last 35 years is still the fastest way to turn a plane around in 20 minutes. Proven fact.
Goodnight "Cattle"
