The comments concerning pre-boards is a legitimate one. 10 years ago there may have been one or two or three but now, on a regular basis there are often upwards of 10 - 15 people. Who are these healthy looking individuals (not in wheelchairs) that I see pre-boarding ? True story, a co-worker flies SWA regularly and pre-boards based on the fact that he is blind in one eye and wears a patch over his bad eye. Yet this same person gets off the plane and drives off in a rental car. Do you not have any guidelines whatsoever ?
I love flying SWA as evidenced by my having qualified for a companion pass for the last 4 years but the companies policy of "not getting involved" is irritating. No enforcement of boarding with luggage that obviously should have been checked, no involvement in the increasing habit of people leaving their luggage in line to "save their place" and, of course, the issue I mentioned above.
PS - Your current boarding system works just fine !

Several years ago enroute to Oklahoma City for a football game and onboard the connection out of Houston the pilot came on and said, I understand we have some Alabama fans onboard today. There was about 40 of us. Next he gave us a big Roll Tide Roll over the PA.
He made a lot of friends for SWA that day.

As an SWA weekly traveler for over 5 years the only possible reason I can imagine for changing to assigned seating would be in order
to charge extra for certain seats or rows, i.e. exit rows, front of plane, but you wouldn't do that.......... would you ?
