NEW BOARDING PROCEEDURE--USED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME--AS EXPECTED SEVERAL PASSENGERS "VIOLATED" THE LINE W/NO ONE FROM SOUTHWEST "POLICING" THE LINE-UP --WILL JUST GET WORSE AS MORE REALIZE THE LINEUP MEANS LITTLE OR NOTHING.
AS LONG AS SOUTHWEST IS GOING IN THIS DIRECTION--IT SEEMS KIND OF SILLY TO GIVE ME A "BOARDING NUMBER"
WHY DON"T YOU GO ALL THE WAY AND EITHER:
PROVIDE ME W/AN ASSIGNED SEAT OR AT TIME I BOOK (IF ON LINE) SHOW ME THE SEATING CONFIGURATION OF THE PLANE (AS OTHERS DO) AND ALLOW ME TO SELECT THE SEAT(S) W/ MY MOUSE.
U.S. AIRLINES STILL MAKE A MESS OF BOARDING-I USED TO TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY AND THE SYSTEM IN PLACE IN EUROPE MADE A LOT OF SENSE AND WORKED GREAT!! THE CHECK-IN AT THE GATE ALLOWED YOU TO PRESENT YOUR PASS AS YOU ARRIVED--YOU WERE THEN ALLOWED INSIDE A SEATING/BOARDING CORRAL AND WHEN BOARDING WAS ANNOUNCED EVERYONE SIMPLY FILED ON THE PLANE--NO LAST MINUTE CONFUSION/DELAY AS THE ATTENDANTS TRIED TO "CHECK" EVERYONE IN AT THE LAST MINUTE AS YOU WERE TRYING TO BOARD THE PLANE,BALANCE YOUR BAGS AND HAVE THE USUAL PASSENGER AHEAD OF YOU W/OUT A PASS OR SOME OTHER CONFUSION--IT TURNED THE PLANES AROUND "REALLY FAST!!"
