I love the current seating procedures at Southwest. PLEASE DO NOT change to assigned seating. I enjoy printing my boarding pass online 24 hours in advance, and I appreciate SW attempts to block the attempts by non-SW sites from charging for this service. My only concern is that too many "Pre-Boarding" folks take unfair advantage. I think that the idea of asking families with children to board early and move to the REAR of the aircraft is a good one. Since there is no lingering near the front lavatory, rear placement of the children would prevent the current running up and down the isles of youngsters, which prevents flight attendants from delivering beverage service. Let the "obviously" handicapped, and those with no overt disability (require a handicap placard) sit near the front. Please ask those that need a wheelchair to remain seated until other passengers deplane. These couple of suggestions would speed up an already very workable streamlined SW procedure. Keep up the good work. You ARE my favorite airline!
