I find the discontinuing of the pre-board for families and adults with children under 4 disturbing for two reasons. One - the practical reason - is that time will be wasted with children blocking aisles as adults attempt to get them into their seats and the fact that a family seated together is less disrupting to other passengers (me being one of them, as I fly solo a lot). Two - social - is that this seems like a change that will make SW more of a singles only airline. Young children are being dissuaded from flying. That makes it better for single adults that find children annoying - you know, they cry, they talk loudly, they squirm. I will continue to fly SW when I'm my own, but I'll be flying other airlines when traveling as a family.
