I am the highest level frequent flyer at a competing airline flying 120+ flights per year. I also utlize Southwest but only when necessay. The reason is lack of assigned seating and priviledge to a frequent flyer. I would change many of my flights to Southwest, as many as 50-75 per year, if there accomodations were made for high level frequent flyers. Either reserved seats could be avaiable for us such as certain aisles and of course the choice emergency exit rows or open seating, but , We would be able to board after the pre boards and before the A,B and C. This would give us access to the preferred seats, overheads and find seats that are away from the preboard families. Different from an earlier blog, preboard families should be at the front. A screaming child in front of me is better then one behind me.
